Mismatched dash / console?

So I have carbon leather in my Z4M roadster, titanium silver.

I'm not a big fan of the carbon leather console, don't mind it on the dash. I really don't want to drop $1,500 on wood trim, but the carbon leather just doesn't look like it's holding up well.

I'm 6'3" and 240 #'s, so pretty much every part of my interior that I touch will wear out quicker. It's tough being gentle.

Anyways, I was thinking of purchasing a Z4 graphite console only: http://www.bmwz4roadster.net/dash/4BM_graphit_gr.jpg There is one used in the classified section.

How would that match the interior of a black on black, carbon leather Z4M?

Would it look cheap or out of place? I was hoping it would accent some of the other silver (non-aluminum pieces like the door handles, gauge housing, etc.) or would it be too dark?

My other option would be to buy the graphite piece and have it professional wrapped in leather to match the rest of the car?

Thoughts?

I was even toying with the idea of buying it and painting it to match the exterior of the car in titanium silver???

I would have it professionally done at a body shop or rattle can it with paint from http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ .
