Aluminum interior trim

I want to change out the wood trim and so I would like to know where I could find aluminum interior trim. I could use the aluminum on the 2G CL for the center console and front doors, right?

So all I need is the door and center console trim, I think... I don't have the wood/leather steering wheel or shift knob.

1) You can't just buy the door trim pieces, you have to buy the entire interior door panel $$$
2) They don't made aluminum door panel pieces for the TL (only the CL) and again read #1
3) Your best bet is to remove the pieces and paint them
4) This has been discussed almost as many times as "Is it my tranny"

they sell kits that stick on over your trim, but from my own personal experience, i bought a brushed aluminum kit for one of my old cars and i ended up not using it, b/c it looked too fake. It was basically either a really thin piece of Aluminum or just a fake piece with a really thick gel/clear soft plastic coating over it, and i didnt like how thick that coating was...

Those kits are just add-ons to the dash. There is no kit that covers the center console pieces or door pieces.
