Yup, PDK. I was all about the sport wheel at first but I made a 180 in favor of MF. Standalone it isn't as appealing as the SW, but aesthetically it matches better with other components IMO. The shiny plastic on the SW only seems to match the standard trim, which is too shiny to me -- kinda like the effect of patent leather on clothing/shoes.

Sidenote: While in the demo car I reached to feel the texture of the standard trim and left what had to be the clearest, damn near florescent fingerprints ever in the history of forensics. We both looked at it like "yeeesh" but said nothing. Haha

I have brushed aluminum on my alternate build, and some other subtle accents, and the MF has a subdued, consistent look that works well with them.

And I get it, the paddle shifting, but it isn't that important to me at this point and if it becomes more important I can add them aftermarket.

Aaaall that being said, I still haven't made a final decision. Thanks.

Leather and for an even better feel, use a pair of good golf gloves.
