The bird on my seats are a dark silver almost charcoal color. I'm really considering the charcoal. I wish I could get a pic of them on a black ws6.

I have samples here of silver/charcoal/pewter/brushed aluminum and I decided that the silver looked the best for my car. The charcoal is pretty much what it says but with a small amount of metallic flake in it.

I think the brushed aluminum look was cheesy and would reflect too much. Pewter looked good only for a certain couple angles. Any other time it looked brown or gold depending where you were standing.

Try to get some more pics without the sun washing them out. I really want to see that Charcoal on a black WS6. I only test-fitted a small 2" sample of it.
