I'm considering painting those trim pieces, too. It just looks too cheap.

And anything is better than stick-on carbon fiber. I'm not sure there's any early-90s interior that really looks "right" with CF. The SVX has more of a classic exotic feel inside, I think. Needs something simple and understated.

As for the restoration: Armorall and the like tend to make things super-slippery. Pledge furniture polish might work better.
