the trim around my radio is already a silver pearl color which I might either leave how it is or repaint it also
here is how the silver paint that I put on the vent trim looks up against the trim around the radio

now here is the next thing I might be getting the JDM door handles, I am also getting a silver and CF Levoc shifter from Goosey2099 and his CF and silver Ebrake along with black Ebrake boot.
My door panels are going to be covered in black vinyl.
what would look better
the fake wood painted black or silver and the dash trim black or silver
and the trim around the door handles black or silver.
I can go with either 1 color for all the painting or the 2 colors that I am looking at

so what you are saying is everything silver? the fake wood? the cup for the door handle, and the trim around the vents?

also I forgot to add I might be doing a black suede headliner in the spring

Seeing that your dashboard is gray, I would paint all of the vent trim black as well as repaint the center trim where your stereo is, and make that black. Then with your door panels black and with the chrome JDM door handles, I would paint the arm rests and the door handle cups silver or maybe even gray to match the dash better. The shifter trim should be painted black as well in my opinion.

All of that looks good in my head, but it's hard to say for sure without seeing it in person.

If for whatever reason you do not want to repaint the center trim and you want to keep it silver, then I would paint everything else silver to match.
