Sick Of My Current Interior Trim

Any suggestions on what to do with it? My only issue is that I don't know exactly what would look good with my current interior. I don't like the walnut, but I'm worried that's all I'm going to be able to do to it.

I was considering the CF wrap, but I didn't think it would look too good against me beige interior.

And do you think Piano black or Monaco Blue (exterior color) would look better?

Don't have to do a CF wrap, but some form of wrap would work. A 3'x5' sheet is more than enough and only cost ~50$. Could go piano black wrap and see if you like it first.

If you were to wrap it or change the color of it, I'd say go with something dark so that it'll blend in with the other black interior pieces that it covers/surrounds already.

Gloss black or gloss black metallic vinyl trim would look much better. Maybe even a brushed metal.

It's not a honda. So no to paint matched. Brushed black metallic will work nicely

Try the 3M 1080 Brushed series. This may help with some comparison: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...0&postcount=76

I have carbon fiber wrap on the trim of my beige interior and I really like it. Certainly looks better than the aluminum trim that is underneath. Google for a few pictures. I think piano black would look good too. In either case, I found it looks nicer with black floor mats as well.
