Default Paint/replace woodgrain interior panels.

SLT sierra has all of the woodgrain interior panels. I think they are kinda tacky considering the trim around the radio is brushed aluminum

Options:
Paint all panels midnight blue to match the exterior of the truck. Interior color is two tone tan.

Or replace all panels with the brushed aluminum as used in the All Terrain Sierras.

Or other ideas and opinions

Brushed aluminum, looks really good. IMO painted interiors looks pretty ricey.

Brushed is what I wanted to do I was just curious what the consensus was.

Brushed aluminum all the way. I have a couple faux wood pieces and have always hated them.

Makes me want to gack also. I used to love the custom wood trim in conversion burbans from 10-15 years ago. But the fake wood just looks like *** especially when there are a few brushed aluminum pieces here and there on the dash.

I replaced the aluminum trim ring around the radio with a woodgrain version
I also pulled the "bucket" in the center console and replaced it with the woodgrain topped compartments from other trim levels.
