Ok guys I tried to take some better pics so you can see. There is really quite a difference between the two. Hopefully this shows the silver-ish color of the new finish. The silver color is actually made to look like wood grain rather than an actual grain in the vinyl like on the old finish. Now don't get me wrong, the new finish does have a grain or I'd say more of a texture, which is basically just lines straight across and looks nothing like an actual wood grain.
The first picture is, from what I was told, the old finish which is what my fronts and center are. They are solid black in person. I received these 2 months ago. The second picture is the new finish on my QS8, which I received a pair of three weeks ago and now again yesterday.
