Decorative aluminum trim continues to have a good presence overall from dash panels and door rails to consoles and switchplates. Some interior finishes that caught our attention was the use of [heavy grained brushed aluminum](https://www.norcorp.com/surface-collections/surface-collection-page/bid/47865/BrushUp-Aluminum-Surface-Collection) and [textured surfaces](https://www.norcorp.com/design-aluminum-surfaces-blog/bid/118693/3D-Inks-Take-Aluminum-Trim-to-Another-Level). Here are the highlights. *What caught your eye?
