Options for shifter trim?

I'm looking to change my shifter trim to something besides the standard silver. I'm not having much luck finding options. I did find this one though:


Besides repainting the stock shifter trim or going with a CF one, it doesn't seem like there are options in between. What all do you recommend? or am searching for the wrong term?

When I first bought my car I thought the same thing. I intended to change that silver trim around the shifter. More specifically changing it to carbon fiber to match the rest of the trim but I found nothing.

Thank you for that pic. That's the first time I've seen that it does in fact exist. Somewhere. Anyone on this forum have it? Pics please! I wonder if it really matches the OEM carbon fiber trim. I wouldn't want it to clash.

The reason I grew to think that the silver is ok is because the rest of the side trim is trimmed by the same stuff. So it seems to be a theme throughout the car. To change all of that would be quite a lot of work. And I also realized that a touch of contrast actually is a good thing. And accepted maybe it looks just fine the way it is.

But now looking at this pic it has me thinking again. Hmmm.

You could wrap the current trim with infinite possibilities.

That's a good point. I'm curious if a vinyl wrap is out there that matches the black interior..
