Default B-Pillar Plastic Replacement

I have a 2021 F150 STX and it came with the rough matte black B-Pillar trim pieces between the front and rear windows. I'm wanting to upgrade this to the glossy black trim piece thats on the higher F150 packages. I ordered what I thought was the correct trim but it just came in and it's only a stick-on cover that goes over this.

Does anyone know the correct part number for the entire plastic piece?

Man. I want to go the opposite way. I don't like the shinny swirls showing. I bought some carbon fiber wrap to install. Need to see about removing mine too to do a good wrap.

I’m wanting to go from the shinny to the Matte.

This might point you in the right direction.

I would stick with the matte finish. The shiny black shows swirl marks and scratches easily.

No need to remove, and easier if you don't. Just remove the weather stripping so you can get to the edges where the windows are. Apply vinyl in one piece covering both pillars. Then take an Exacto knife and split the difference in seak between pillars. Carbon fiber design will pretty much line up.
Did it on my '17, plan on it on my '20.

I wrapped my easy to scratch shiny black b-pillar trim with satin black vinyl.
Originally I looked into getting the OEM matte black trim and it was going to run me around $250. I didn't like the price, but the real deal breaker was when I got an upclose look at a truck with the matte black b-pillar trim and noticed that they were textured. I didn't like the texture so I decided to wrap my smooth, shiny trim. I only paid $12 for a sheet of vinyl.
