Had my JzBlck/ExtFR/CL for three months now and love it.
I've heard that aluminum scratches easily as well, but I still love it in my black interior for the contrast; I'm just careful about my seatbelt and don't have kids and such to deal with, so I figure I should be ok. But yes as others have said if you can handle the Individual upcharge, Piano Black would probably trump all. But I thought there was a $5K charge just to put anything Individual on your car that's added before the cost of any actual Individual options you specify? That would be a bit much for different trim IMHO.
