Default Opinions...Havana Black with Carbon inlays

Has anyone seen an S7 with havana black exterior, black interior with carbon inlays? How does it look?

I'm wondering if the carbon will look out of place with this exterior color. Any other suggestions for the inlays?

Thanks!

I just took delivery on an S7 - Havanna Black w/ carbon inlays, but lunar silver interior. Awesome. The contrast really looks amazing. With black or lunar silver interior, the inlays really stand out and go with the HB.

So many people have ordered the carbon fiber inlays that there have been some production delays. The piano black was offered as a replacement on some orders.

I think that the carbon fiber would look great. The piano black would look great too and it would be rare in the North American cars since it was not offered.

I think that wood inlays in the "S" cars would look out of place with the diamond pattern sport seats. The aluminum inlays have a good look but they can be dented.

Thanks to both lldog and tenspeed for the quick feedback! I appreciated your perspectives and comments!

I'm going with the carbon...

I have Havanna Black S7, black interior with the comfort seats. I have aluminum inlays, and I think they look great with havanna. I didn't order the car, it came available at the dealer, and I loved it. My S5 that I traded in had carbon. At first I thought I was compromising by settling on the aluminum vs. ordering a car and waiting for carbon. I am growing to really love the aluminum and the contrast it offers with everything else being black. I don't think you can go wrong with carbon though.

Also, wood looks out of place with the sport seats. Do not do sport seats + white diamond stitching + wood. It looks wrong, I saw one at the dealer. Stay with aluminum, piano, or carbon with the sport seats.
