Great input. I think I'll go for it with a little sanding and the use of 3M brand wrap. Now to decide on the color. I have beige leather and was thinking matt black, but I really like brushed aluminum too. I think the aluminum color would break up the black dash better, but I think the matt black would look better on the doors. The carbon looks awesome too. Maybe that's the way to go as it's kind of a combo of both colors.

After all is done and if there are a few noticeable flaws, it will still be more appealing than light wood trim.
