I have the mocha designo edition convertible, and I really don't like the dated look of the wood trim. I was thinking of wrapping with CF vinyl, or maybe brushed sliver.

I am worried about how this will look with the dark brown interior.
Thoughts?

In the end, it really is what you, the owner, thinks that matters. What one person feels is a "dated look" may be the originality that someone else is looking for. It was a $6K option with low production numbers, so you may want to consider making the mod easily reversible. Best wishes however you decide to go.

I hear what your saying... I just wanted some opinions. At the end of the day though its a 10k$ car today and when I get rid of it its going to be worth 2k$ designo or not.

Same problem here. Noticing a few hairline cracks in the trim and therefore was also thinking about a CF wrap. Also thinking about either replacing it with new or a different wood overlay. This item is far down my to do list but it still on the list.
