Brown or Red Interior.... What trim?

hey guys... trying to order a car.... last time i went with black leather on gray poplar.
looks just great, amazing IMO. I like how the trim doesnt look like jaguar wood interior, kinda sporty at the same time it's wood

But now im thinking of ordering with Saddle Brown or Coral Red interior.

I have no idea which trim to get tho. Any suggestions (pictures would be appreciated too)

Aluminum. I have Terra/Alum in my car, you are welcome to come by and take a look. It is similar to saddle/alum.

Ironically I'm deciding between coral and saddle too, but I'm set on the Alum trim.

With Coral or Saddle/Terra, get alum, sporty yet luxurious.

It does scratch here and there, but I wouldn't say easily. It would be like my watch scraping it, or dropping my cell on the ashtray area. With regards to dirty, no not at all.

I'll try to find some photos.

Not sure if we met, but I went to that large Tustin meet last month or whatever. I sadly don't recall the names of the people I met..

The terra is not very accurate in these pics because of the flash, but it gives you an idea of the alum trim combo.

A bit darker and richer, almost exactly like the skin of a football in terms of color, whereas saddle is more like a baseball glove.

Nah won't make it up tonight, I need to go to the gym after the about 50 beers I drank this weekend watching football.

75% of the time at the gym at my complex (horrible), and when I have motivation at 24 in costa mesa, or the spectrum.

Are you sure you are talking about the 24 at spectrum, not the one on irvine center in the 7-11 shopping mall. There is a new one next to Fox Sports Grill that is simply awesome. They tried to make it a super-sport but got nobody to enroll, so they just changed it to regular sport.

Yup inside spectrum. They have a large fountain in the middle of the gym (I don't know why). I know there is one right down the street, like a mile away that is in that strip mall across from the Verizon Ampitheater, but not that one. It is actually inside spectrum by the food court.
