ebay, I know there's a sell that has a kit for almost every car in carbon fiber or brushed aluminum. I think he sells them for $130 shipped. I know someone on this forum has them.

you have to be careful when getting a carbon fiber trim kit. I've seen some real cheap ones, just black with grey paint on it to mimic the carbon fiber look, but if you get within a foot or so you can tell it is really cheap looking, basically a grey grid on a black trim piece.
The one in the pic above looks great and is probably well made, the one I saw was too cheap to even mention to you guys here, it was $cheap$ yes, but was sooooooo "ricey" looking.

I bought my whole kit through a company called Beneviento. It included 32 pieces - door handles, rear cup holders, etc. It cost around $250 since I also bought it when the TL-S first came out. I also ordered an extra piece so that I could have it custom cut to fit the dash kit for the headunit.

The pics don't really do the kit any justice. It looks better in person and looks like it has more depth to it. The kit is molded to fit and has rounded edges to give it a clean look. The first pic is pretty old when I first got the kit. The second pic is a more recent pic. I don't really have any more pics of the rest of the kit.

$400 ?!?! Thats too much damn money just for a dash kit.
I looked into getting the same pieces wrapped in suede or leather also through a place that specializes in interiors. They were quoting me $100/door in labor alone!!! Too much for me to spend on small door inserts.
There was someone on this board that had the pieces painted in silver, but I can't remember their name. Looked pretty good.
