If you're looking for a budget option, give it a good scuff with 800 grit sandpaper and wash in something to get rid of any grease/protectant left on it. Get some matte black spray paint and give it a shot. Try it out on a single piece first (the most damaged one ideally) and see how you like it. Worst case you're just buying the black parts you were already considering.

All those pieces are black. Amayama is a decent source too as long as you don't mind shipping from Japan. https://parts.bestbuysubaru.com/p/Su...3154CA120.html |

OP - Just vinyl wrap your current pieces in any of the dozens of black finishes (or other color.) It's easier and will look better than most backyard paint jobs. Can't decide on which black to use? Samples are like a buck each at places like http://metrorestyling.com

I bought the shifter trim $25, traction control buttons $39, two hvac pieces $21/ea, two door handles $20/ea from Heuberger Subaru for a total of $160 shipped. I bought the vent pieces and black door handles (the part with the lock) from Amayama. Vent pieces were $3.70 each, door handles were $11 each. That black steering wheel piece can be sourced from Amayama as well. |

Just a heads up for anybody going the replace all silver trim to black route. DO NOT use Heuberger Subaru to get parts. Just go your the closest Subaru dealer and get it ordered there.
I finally received my stuff 13 days later today after ordering and to top it off they sent the wrong part, another silver trim ring. Then they aren't taking responsibility and sending out the correct part and taking the wrong part on their dime. I am just throwing it away since after shipping for the correct part and plus the extra shipping to send the wrong part back, I'd be out at least another $20. Great customer service right there... |

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I have used them in the past without any issues. The BRZ tS doesn't have black vent rings here in the US. That's why I ordered mine from Amayama. |
