Aluminum, of course. I just meant design-wise and look-wise.

Considering the different appearances, or the material only.

Aluminum. Black plastic looks like crap once it’s been in the sun for a while.

I would say both. The Aluminum looks more classic for one thing. I think it will hold up better in the long run. And I’d bet a fiver that the slats are going to be thinner and thus easier to see out of.

Plus, plastic just looks cheap. IMHO, FWIW, YMMV.

I’m with the crowd on this, go aluminum. ABS will warp over time due to heat and the plastic will fade to grey, both are unattractive features on what would be an otherwise good looking turbo-4 Stang.

Polished aluminum so you can blind all the other drivers.
