Pewter interior pieces or aluminum trim?

Would you rather paint some of the interior trim pieces pewter, or just get an aluminum trim package and install it?

lol, here's a two sided version of it

1. I paint my interior pieces pewter

2. I purchase an aluminum trim package, and install it, instead of painting my interior pieces pewter.

Ah gotcha Well my first choice would be to have them painted. But if you do that have them professionally done. Other wise you're never going to match that color. If you can't get them painted then go for the aluminum. But either way should be a vast impovement over the stock interior.

Everything about this car is great. Except for the interior.

I've been looking at the 2005 GTO's, but I'm going to try and improve my interior first.

paint pewter. Try going to places that sell stock colors for paint for shops and stuff, and you will be able to match it, though you may have to buy a spraygun. You might be able to do it with an airbrush if you can get thee right paint... It doesn't have to be absolutly perfectly matched, though, beecause unless its actually touchiong something with the stock paint on it, if you get the color close enough, no one will be able to tell its not quite it.
