Charcoal Aluminum finish Instrument panel in the Interior Upgrade Package
Hi, I am about to put in an order for an '08 GT and I am trying to decide between the Charcoal Aluminum finish and the Satin Aluminum for the instrument panel. The interior will be Dark Charcoal.
The only two pictures I've found online are:

I was wondering if anyone had any other pictures of their dashes in Real Life lighting conditions.
Also, I was thinking carbon fiber panels might look nice with the Charcoal Aluminum, but I'm not sure if they would be same kind of grey. If someone might have already been thinking this and done this, I would be forever grateful for pictures of that too.
Thanks in advance,
noob Steve

Here's some pictures of my 07 Black GT/CS inside with the dark Charcoal and Carbon Fiber inserts.

I got the satin, with the Red interior package it makes it all bling together. But the Charcoal is very classy. I would always choose charcoal panels with a dove or parchment interior for the contrast, but you can't loose either way with the charcoal interior.
What color exterior???

dly: Wow, exactly what I meant. Thank you very much! The light graphite contrasts nicely.
Kevinb120: Thanks for your input! I'm going to go with Alloy Clearcoat Metallic for the exterior.
frodaddi: Sweet, that's it, I like it. Thanks!
I hope dark charcoal interior / charcoal aluminum dash / alloy exterior together wont be too bland, though... but I'm going for a modest, but performance "I'm not F-ing around" look.

Charcoal Interior Panel
Here's a pic of my interior with the Charcoal Panel and Med Parchment Int. It definitly looks better than the Silver Panel when you have a two tone interior - not just all black.

Well here's an alloy car for ya! Another excellent looking interior is the Chamios ICAP(chamois seats and panels just like the red), I was SOOO undecided between the two.

Yeah, not an easy decision. I choose the Satin with the dark charcoal interior for my 08 GT since I felt that it would break up the dark interior a little and give it a little contrast.
I felt that it would give it more of an "old school" look while the Charcoal aluminum looks more like carbon fiber, and is more of a modern look.
But really they both look pretty good, maybe it's more of what kind of "theme" you want for your interior?

Kevinb: I'm not sure if you got my response, because I updated my post instead of making a new one (noob move). The red looks great with satin + dark charcoal.
Thanks for all your help/pictures, everyone. I've now set my mind on Dark charcoal / Charcoal aluminum / Alloy. I've got an appointment to put the order in at 8PM tonight. If anyone has any strong opinions as to why this combination might be a bad idea, please let me know so I can consider it before locking myself into this choice for the rest of my life (ok, 5-10 years).

IMO the color ICAP's red and chamois do good with the silver, the grey/parchment interiors and all charcoal look good with the charcoal dash. I wouldn't do it with red/chamois ICAP, looks like parts are missing.
I do think Alloy/Chamois is the classiest combo in the entire lineup.

I have Dark Charcoal, Charcoal Aluminum, and Black.
It is not too dark, it looks nice and elegant. Much nicer than satin, imo.
I didn't think it was that big of a deal at the time, but I realized how much more I like it.

Alloy/Chamois is what I ordered! Does anybody have pics of that?
