Default I don't mind the grey, but I feel that beltline should contrast somewhat.

I like piano black, but people want $500 for a set. Not worth it IMO.

Default I don't know. If so, that's a horrible stain they put on it.

bird's eye maple is normally a lot lighter:

Maybe it is milkwood:

Default I don't mind grey, I just didn't like the white wood with grey.

Well, I do mind grey. Gets dirty too easily.

Default To me, gray is like a depressing cloudy day.

Kind of like most days in NE Ohio. We've had a long string of cars with black or tan interiors.

Can't you just DIY a piano black?

Default a response......

That's an old pic. The seats get an annual cleaning with lexol or leatherique products. The grey leather always looks mildly dull. As soon as the weather warms up some, I'll embark on a another interior cleaning. Winter is not letting up as it just dumped another 5-7 inches here the other day.

Default Changing it is a PITA. I have a set of S4 trim to install on my Opal Grey interior....

maybe I'll do a door this weekend and send you a shot. I'd prefer the 2.8 trim, but I've had no luck finding it.

These instructions seem to be well done....<ul><li><a href="http://www.rnsdesign.com/estore/install_guide.htm">Installation guide....</a></li></ul>
