I did this to the interior pieces on my car. I took them out and had a local body shop spray them for $30. They really aren't prone to scratches all that much as mine have 3 or 4 coats of clear on them. Dust is easily noticeable on them, but if you keep your car clean, it's really not an issue.
Here's a couple of pics:

needless to say my wife was irritated that she couldn't get the black trim parts with the cooled seats.
Anyone know how that kit from Sewell comes?

those look like new pics they have up and before I didn't know if it was just a new overlay kit and you'd have to rip the current wood trim out and re-stick it on, or if it just covered the old trim up. But those look like brand new switch plates, cup holder, ash tray cover and shifter/center console cover.

Nice! Question for you, how hard was it to get the trim pieces out, and how did you get them out of the doors? I've looked for instructions on the web but haven't found any.
Same here, my wife has the Birds-eye maple and can't stand the wood at all. After seeing one on the lot with the black interior (which has some metallic flake to it) she loved it. The dealer could not understand why we'd prefer that over the wood.

I originally had the neffy wrap cf vinyl on mine. It looked good, but I wanted something more lol. I took my car in for a TSIB and got a 2011 is250 loaner it had the piano black trim with black interior and that's what sold me on it.
I just put the 3m dinoc vinyl on my armrest. I took the idea from vinconist. The leather has some abnormal wear I guess the previous owner had a fat arm or something.
