I have one in dark blue. These are wicked hard to find. Most people just paint them with interior paint to match the interior color.

I used interior dye to color my dashboard a year and a half ago, and my console, glove box door, and speaker grilles. When done right (proper prep), it'll last forever and I even use cleaning products on the dash (vinyl protectant) with zero issues).

If they don't fit your needs, no worries. I'm just trying to help. I know how hard it is to find missing and needed pieces.

I prepped mine by simply cleaning them with an alcohol pad, letting them air dry for a while, spraying them lightly with adhesion promoter, a light light coat of primer, then mist coats of the dye until I got the coverage I wanted. Looks factory.

Interesting...hopefully it'd work for me...I know I just spent the time repainting my rear opera lights with some chrome spray paint...and no matter how must care I put into it there was still speckles on it...maybe the trim dye will be better quality paint
