Brown Finline wood + black seat...Is that ugly?

Well...I was too excited when I ordered the car and probably not thinking very carefully. But now I suddenly realize that brown fineline wood + black leather seat may be ugly...

All the online pictures of fineline wood are with white interior... So I'm really concern about this. Is there any one who ordered the same combination? Any opinion on this? Thank you!

You're not obligated to buy the car that you ordered...once it arrives if it's really as ugly as you think it is...select something else.

You'll find a picture of this combination in the Canada guide. It is what I have ordered and I like it. Page 31.

personally, went for black ash-pore trim which compliments the black leathers.

I don't think it looks bad, but I personally prefer black ash. Subtle until the sun hits it then wow, nice touch. Can't go wrong, enjoy either way.
