Default Trim panels

I have an 08 XLT with the flat black trim around the stereo and on the doors. I have the jump seat set up too, so no floor shifter. What I'm wondering is, does anyone have 'wood' trim they have for sale or trade or know where I can get some. Either that or the carbon chain link looking stuff. I'm just not really liking the flat black...I have thought of painting it but haven't found any pics of someone doing it so a bit nervous. I'm still a noob when it comes to customizing. Thanks!

You can get the stick on trim several places online.

You can use the stock FX (carbon) or Lariat (wood) radio surround, which will be an easy swap. The doors, however, are bonded to the door panel, so you'd need to swap the whole panel to get those.

Look around on here, I think some guys have used duplicolor's plastic paint with success. Just remember, with any paint job, prep is very important.
