Fake aluminum trim

Is anyone else disappointed that the "aluminum" trim on the bumpers is just silver paint? Wish there was at least the option of real material or carbon fiber.

Do you mean the trim along the bottom of the rear bumper?

Aluminum is soft and susceptible to denting. It would be a poor choice of material for rocker panels or a bumper. The hood is soft enough as it is.

Don't think it's meant to imitate Aluminium. Many vehicles have silver trim.
