because of what people have said in the past about my woodgrain interior. The amount of time it took to produce those parts by hand and perfect them to where they have been for 3 years now is by far a marvel in hand-crafting wood. Any carpenter would drool over the quality of work and appreciate the time element put into the construction of the pieces and the quality of the finish product. I'm not even a carpenter, I just strive to be the best at what I do and until someone rivals my work, any pessimistic view of it is simply "talk".
An aluminum finish is a far cry from the 'gucci crazed' carbonfiber fanatics and with those parts simply being reproduced by a computer from aluminum is more of flattery than anything else to me. Even though you may think a computer can produce a more perfect part, it is still confined to the parameters of the design which is created by human. I look forward to seeing the aluminum replicas. =)
