Default tan interior replacement trim

i love my 350 but one thing that is bugging me a little is the wood trim. I'm looking for more of a sport look but i dont think the carbon fiber trim would work well my interior color. Is there a black trim that goes with the black on the doors? Does anyone have a different trim on the tan interior that can post pics?

I'm starting to regret not waiting for black interior

CF does look good on tan.









Some friend's car.

Not sure if those are high quality CF trim, but you can imagine with better quality.

Instead of the CF, have you considered the black bird-eye maple wood trim?

I have them on mine as stock and they look nice. But it's probably cheaper going with CF overlays

I am pretty sure those are not overlays, those are real CF.

The Piano black actually looks pretty cool. How much to have them painted?

Those are real carbon fiber pieces. They put a resin over them to create the shine.

It only cost me $20 at a local body shop. I got it so cheap because the guy told me it would only be a half day job, and it turned into a 3 week job.
