my issue with silver buttons is that they are painted, and in time the paint on buttons wears off and looks terrible

if black switches are cheap I'd get them

So if you do full carbon fiber conversion you are still left with that ugliness:

So the Aus GT has: Black door handles, black door card trim, black vent rings, black knee pad trim, black shifter surround, black cluster & black console trim (not fake carbon fibre).

I know. But my understanding is that people in the US that are doing either carbon viber wrap or real carbon fiber pieces want the black buttons, etc. from the Aus GT model to match better with the CF

Have we found anything else about these. I don't want this thread to die. I really want those black buttons if there are out there.

There's gotta be a part number for them, you just gotta ask one of the Aussies nicely if they can produce it for you.

I'd like those black handles too but I'm just going to pull the door card off, sand down the chrome and repaint it something else. Those are the biggest "Subaru parts bin" part in the car next to the seat heater switches.
