What to do with ugly interior trim pieces
The 2 long trim pieces for the center console were beaten up pretty bad when I bought the car. Don't feel like spending $160 to replace them so what's the best option? Wrap them in carbon fiber wrap to match the center console?

You answered you own question. There is silver CF wrap, or even brushed aluminum style vinyl you could do them in, the choice is yours

I'd take some steel wool to them to give it a brushed look.

I'd wrap it in vinyl.

DeathMetal did it and it looks hot as hell!

Anyone got pics with what they did with this issue? I'm in the process of covering up the ugly fake wood trim in my car, and I may do the silver trim if I see something I like...
