SupraMn, that lighter color wood trim is pretty sharp. I can't tell from the pics, does it have the natural wood grain still? I assume it's just a vinyl wrap, rather than sanded down and refinished? (I refinished some of mine and it's not a fun task.)
Do you still have the other half of the black and tan window switches? I would recommend reversing the combo, with the black buttons on the tan housing. I have that on my driver's side and it makes the controls stand out nicely. The way you have it looks incomplete, IMO, like there's something missing where the buttons are.
I actually pulled a lot of inspiration from your interior when I decided to do mine, I still want to get the black seat belts and e-brake/boot, along with some sort of new seats. It's a never ending want for mods! I think your steering wheel really completes your interior aswell.
It's hard to tell, but the dome light surround is black along with the sunroof handle. It gives a little contrast to the headliner, rather than tan everything.
I don't like how my center console turned out, should've used a high build primer first. I think I'm going to repaint it in chalkboard paint, looks good and functional.

All of the interior parts that don't match the factory tan/brown are actually painted.
I didn't like the idea of $15 a can for SEM after shipping was said and done, so I found a nice alternative at home depot. 6 cans of vinyl paint cost me $22 and I had half a can left that I used for extra coats on the armrests. It's high gloss, but really not too noticeably. Turned out awesome.
The wood grain is actually an orange metallic paint. The sanding/prepping wasn't fun, but I've done some body work before and this was simple prep compared to that.

Interesting. I can sort of see it now that you mention it, but I thought it was glossy pine and the grain just wasn't obvious... I wouldn't have expected metallic orange to work that well in the SC interior.
almost done
