Wow it really scratches easily. The worst part of it is the wife doesn't watch when she gets into car with her purse. Not sure if it's worth fixing but when driving the scratches show in the sun. They are on the passenger door and it's just sad.

You could get the interior wrapped with carbon fiber or something. Aluminum MUST have a texture, or its a scratch magnet.

Swap it out for the open-pore gray oak wood.

That's why I got the carbon trim, hoping it would hide scratches better. Aluminum not only scratches but also dents very easily, you have to be very careful.

I find that kindly asking your passengers to NEVER take any bags in the front or inside the car helps.

Personally, I find NOT taking passengers is the best solution!

I am in the SF Bay area. Where would be a good place to obtain the carbon fiber?

That's the preferred way obviously, but if it fails you fall back on yelling at the passengers.

Well, I checked the option when I ordered the car...

eBay is an option if you want to buy after the fact, here's one from Poland for $1000:

Is it really Aluminum?

I thought it was some plastic material with a silver "Aluminum' finish on it.

It dents and scratches like real aluminum...
