Default Maptech flushmount head unit kit

I'm planning to pick up one of these kits. I know what colour lighting I want and what lettering options. What I dont know about is the finish. I plan to get a new Alpine deck in the spring with a brushed aluminum finish. I want the brushed faceplate but am thinking it may be too much. I dont have any other brushed aluminum in the interior. Anyone have any pics of the brushed finish faceplate installed? Should I go with black or brushed?

I'd say the black. Since the deck will already be brushed aluminum. If the stereo was back I'd say brushed and add some billet hvac ***** to bring it together.

Id go with black too just to match the interior.

I was looking for a brushed aluminum pic but couldnt find one. Ill look more in depth later. If someone has one post it up.
