Replacing interior trim. Suggestions needed.

Right now I have carbon fiber wrapped wood trim. It came out pretty good when I first did it. I am ready for a new look though and there are a few spots I'm not happy with. Also a few of the tabs that hold the door trims in place are broken. So I am looking to replace my trim entirely. I don't want to wrap it or paint it.

I was looking at piano black which is too expensive atm. I was also looking at the oem high gloss black trim which is quite a bit cheaper but I'm concerned it wont be an exact match with the black shift knob. Can anyone confirm this?

What other options are there for black trim or other colors? I don't have idrive.

You kind of killed all the good options. Barring wood, gloss black, aluminum and cf, the only thing I can think of is alcantara wrap. Looks okay but kind of delicate.

Well I had wood to begin with. I have carbon fiber now. I don't really like the aluminum. Is there anywhere to get custom painted trim?

I might actually get gloss black if it matches the gloss black shifter. I just want to know if there are any other options. If there's not then gloss black it is.

I have wood under my cf as well replaced with gloss black vinyl. Still working on center shifter piece and my steering wheel trim is next. Will leave my starter surround red just for an extra touch.

That looks good. I'm probably going to go with the oem high gloss black trim. I just hope it matches the gloss black shifter because it would look kind of weird if they were 2 different shades of black.
