Some people just buy the Carbon Black trim and install it.

Matte black vinyl film will be worth it without messing up the original trim. I'm sure 55"x36" is enough to do all of the trim. Search around eBay or graphics websites for the best prices.

Hey thadoggfatha, I've got graphit line trims on my truck (2005 Sports Pack). I feel thats the best choice to go with black leather. Not as dark as black trim on black leather. Problem is I've got tan leather. That's why Im looking for someone with dark wood trim to swap. Besides, non-wood-trims are much easier to spraypaint. If you're interested just let me know (rigth now I am in Berlin/Germany, but I am sure we would find a way to do this...) Enno

You can get some carbon fibre effect vinyl now that looks good (if you're into that).

Google for "3M Di-noc carbon".
