While I agree that the carpets show too much dirt with parchment, I think the ebony shows way too much dust on the dash and other parts. You have to dust dark interiors every other day. There are pros and cons to everything. I think both look great but I went with parchment because I think it looks more luxurious.

My personal opinion for a black CL would be the parchment interior.

Parchment is the way to go. Bowling Ball trim sucks and looks totally cheesy. Only fags get the black with the Bowling Ball. (Not that there's anything wrong with that)

I get the fine wood interior trim with the parchment. I think is it mahogany or tiger maple or maybe it's plastic...I can't really tell.

(Actually, ebony was too dark and dusty for me)

Only fags get the black with bowling ball trim? Hmmm, being a bit biased are we?

Anyways, tis ok. IMO, I think the black with gray/bowling ball interior looks great. It really depends on your taste. I think that I spend so much time and $ keeping the outside clean, I don't want to have to worry about the inside that much too ! If you want something that stays pretty clean-looking (ie the color of the leather, mats, floor carpeting), get the darker interior. If you don't mind blemishes over the years, then the parchment works too... They both look nice in my opinion, but I guess I'm just a fag who hates noticeable dirt in my car

The bowling ball trim in my car is among the top 3 for getting ooohs and ahhhs when someone gets in my car for the first time. The other two are the power walk-in seats and the six-disc changer.

It's been said before, I suppose: if you expect it to look like black wood, you will be disappointed. However, lots of people look at it without any expectations, and like it just fine.

I'm kind of curious how a black exterior, parchment interior, and bowling ball trim would look. Might be interesting .

I think testerone depleted males like the pretty creme parchment interior, it looks very dainty and pretty. Now if you want to step into a nice manly car then you gotta get the ebony.

uh huh... FAGS RULE ! lol

But, seriously,I really think ACURA did a great job on the interior of the car, especially the color combinations. I don't, however, like the fact that my dealer told me I can't get the parchment interior (with mahogany trim) on the black CL-S'... I'm not sure if thats true, but I"ve seen sig's on this forum in which people have this combo.. oh well. no big deal since I ended up acquiring a liking to the bowling ball trim.. its kinda classy i think and goes well with the dark interior and black exterior
