    it all depends...its like asking which color car you like...it depends

    CF looks good with black suede
    matte wood looks good with leather
    brushed aluminum/titanium look good but dont mix with chrome

    I like wood best, such as on this '66 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

    A black lacquer finish. Popular in some Japanese makes, I think Infiniti and Mazda have these.

    I like wood accents, dark wood with dark interiors, lighter interiors look good with light or dark woods. Metal trims also looks pretty good but I'd think it'd get really hot in Summer.

    thanks never heard of that or consciously seen it. Does not sound attractive though...

    'Piano' trim is designed to resemble those highly polished pianos in black wood laquer with the high gloss finish. In cars its usually a pseudo-posh black plastic with a smooth & shiny 'wet look' finish - how exotic!

    But most sane observers imo would mistake for (you guessed it) smooth shiny black plastic

    Polyvinylchloride anyone?

    It depends on the car, so I chose wood in general.

    On a luxury car like an S-Klasse or A8L, there's nothing like a nice wood trim.

    On sports car, polished aluminum and carbon fibre (used appropriately) can look great.

    I like metal, myself. I mean, the dash actually constructed of metal, not metal trim inserted into the dash. That feels solid and quality to me.
    An it harm none, do as ye will

    Approximately 79% of statistics are made up.

    it really depends on the car. the wrong trim can make your car look "great for drifting"

    Wood because it is classy but it always depends on the car and its color
