Trading aluminum trim for birds eye?

Now, I know some of you out there are pretty disappointed that your car came with the ugly, old looking, grandpa-like birds eye maple trim..

I'm here to solve your problems.. I was lucky enough to get one of the sporty and rare "brushed aluminum" trimmed cars, and I would like to do a lucky soul a favor and trade them trim pieces

No catch, just PM me and we can get started...

But no, seriously... is there anyone out there that would prefer the aluminum and HAS the birds eye??

Haha probably... I had a PM about willingness to trade however he had dual memory seat functions in the door panel, and i has nun in the door panel. :*( so close!

And additionally I just found out that the C63 rep. grill i ordered last week and was getting impatient with was "out of stock" for 3-4 weeks... DONT YOU THINK IF YOU PUT IT UP ON EBAY YOU SHOULD HAVE IT IN STOCK? jesus.. *** guy..
Each day this week at work i would sit and daydream about how i would go home, see the package on my doorstep... install the grill, wash the much needed black paint, give her some detailing i know she's been needing... and each day i come home to a porch with no box on it... then i finally go and check my ebay messages and see the sellers note... WTF i was so damn excited.. F you Ebay guy. F you.. and now there are no others available. I know i could paint my stocker but i just have an issue with defacing OEM stuff..
And on top of that I went to dinner tonight and had an unintentional "showdown" with a '10 arctic white 300 with the some of the same goodies as I've got (which you dont see a lot of around here): amg's, pano.. looked really nice.. AND his was lowered.. not much, just a little..... just enough to give me a complex... we came out and I asked my lady "do you think i need to lower mine? .. *shows difference with car in front* "oh yeah, that one is lower, looks sleeker" ..! christ ...... women..

so yeah.. now i need: lowering springs,c63 grill and some new trim pieces...

LMFAO! I had a G37 sport coupe with he Washi brushed aluminum, and I have to admit that I like the c300 aluminum better, the Infiniti looked like it was scratched all over (to hide real scratches) and never looked good when clean IMO.

I don't like the light maple birds eye wood, I think it looks terrible, besides for the black wood grain, I am unsure of what it is called if it is "black birds eye" then yes, I like that, haha.

Are those who have painted theirs happy with the look/results?
