I used 3M wrap and they do not show. Could it be because 3M is thick ( not sure about other brand) and also probably because i used the CF pattern.
Try to get a small sample of the wrap you want to use and cover a cracked area ( no need to remove the trim for the test) and you'll see.

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.

odd, I used the 3M 1080 brushed aluminum vinyl and it still shows through, but its quite thin (but VERRRRY stretchy and strong without deforming the deign magically).
either way, I'd say sand,

Like you said, there is always the sanding option if it doesn't work out.
