Aluminum Trim in an '08

[steel]

I was curious as to everyones' impressions regarding the interior aluminum trim. Is it true the 'upper' and 'lower' aluminum pieces on the dash and 4 doors are not identical? Are both pieces brushed in the same direction? Are they the same 'shade' of aluminum? Are they both metal (as opposed to one piece being plastic)?

I'm in the last few days before I can change my '08 build and the aluminum trim really intrigues me but I've never seen it with my own eyes. I'm not sure how much it would bug me if 2 pieces are not identical. I've looked at ALL of the photos posted in this forum and the aluminum looks great. . .but the photos don't do justice to any (not so?) subtle texture and colour differences.

BTW, I've currently specified the dark bamboo wood.
