While waiting for delivery of a button to allow me to complete my SAT retro-fit, I played with the trim piece around the gear selector to see what looked best with my black high gloss interior.
What do you guys thinks looks best - (standard) gloss, or matt?

Of course the current setup will look like this soon but you get the idea.

It blends well with the rest of your trim. The other one makes the selector surround look way too big.![Thumbsup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/thumbsup.gif)
