Default Adding/Painting Some Interior Pieces Black

Yesteryday, when I was looking at the BMW X5 interior, I noticed that the entire interior was cream/interior while the dash and the window piece was black. Rather than doing an expensive black interior, I wonder if its possible to have the same color scheme.

Here are my ideas.

1. Leather wrap the dash in black or get the black one.
2. Get the piece in front of the steering wheel black or paint it.
3. Replace the window piece.
4. Spray paint the area around the shifter and the ashtray high-gloss black so itll look like blackwood

good luck man, that's one heck of a project to take on... Expensive to redo if it doesn't work out right.

seriously....i'm going to wait until I get either FRP or Carbon doors to do the color change...i figure i'll have to rip out everything at that point anyway and see what i'll be keeping...

I was just thinking of either look for a black dash or get it leather wrapped by a shop. Aside from the black carpet the one in the pic looks really nice.
