2) roof rails-- I'm probably going to get a black exterior, and I'm not sure the satin aluminum rails will look good. Should I go with the high-gloss rails instead? (and am I right that the high-gloss rails are black?)

3) Mojave or Chestnut interior? I'm down to these to colors. I'm worried that the Chestnut might be too bold, and I'll regret the choice after a few months. But I worry the Mojave isn't bold enough. thoughts? (and does the Mojave go well with both the wood trims-- Sienna and Wave?)

Thanks all!

This is all my opinion but...

I have the premium hifi and love it. I like it loud and there is very little distortion plus you get a free year of satellite radio.

I have the silver rails but I have Space Gray and it goes great. I think the black would go well with the darker colors like Carbon.. also looks good on AW with the black kidneys.

Can't help with Mojave vs. Chestnut.... I have Oyster.

Good luck !
