Been looking at AT trying to find a comparison between light and dark carbon interior. I know neither are carbon fiber, but just curious how they contrast. I'm seen dark carbon in person, but not light. Looking at a black on black with light carbon interior, but it's not local so I can't see it. Anyone?

I took these pics at the dealership. I have never seen the dark inlays. Just the light. And from my understanding, it's not CF. Just a woven material.

Yes color above is definitely black, not the dark carbon.

The bigger difference to me isn't in the actual "carbon" material, but the trim around it, which is either a silver/aluminum, or a very dark grey depending on whether you get the dark/light carbon trim.

agreed. I wish we had a choice on this as well. I'd love piano black with the dark trim around it but it only comes with the lighter border trim.

Agreed. I also wish there was an option to replace the aluminum trim in the steering wheel with a dark grey/carbon/black.

The only option really is the aftermarket Dinan steering wheel, but it's not worth spending $2k for me.
