    The 2002 and up ES comes with aluminum trim pieces, they are pretty sweet looking, the GTZ comes with a carbon fiber look trim.

    i guess i should've have clarified the question a little better. I have an 02' but i was thinking more about painting the pieces like the trim around the vents and handle.

    and to MrJaYdEeOnE i couldn't find or see the pic your were talking about

    I just recently painted my vent trims, door handle trims and ash tray black and replaced my wood grain pieces with the 2002 GTZ pieces.

    Why are you looking for someone who painted their pieces specifically aluminum?

    well to see if it looks good or not, don't wanna make it look gay since i can't really go back. wanna make sure it doesn't look cheap either.

    Yea i was thinking about doing the same thing. One thing to keep in mind if you do it is finding the right color to match the stock trim peaces. I've seen pics of people that painted thier door handles, and vents, but not aluminum. Holla.

    That maxima does look nice, but remember, our leather is a much lighter gray than that. The contrast is not going to stand out as much. I contemplated going with brushed aluminum trim, but didn't like the look. You can always contact one of the dash kit places like AlkaPlus or Veneerz. They'll send you free samples of brushed aluminum overlays, and you can hold that up and get a general idea of how it will look.

    Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.
