Looking to replace my 2008 550i wood trim with brushed aluminum. So far the cheapest I found is around US$800-900. I don't want to pay that much. Any place I should visit? Any cheaper alternatives to the OEM brushed aluminum? I thought about painting piano black, but it would make my interior too dark, so I want to stay with aluminum.

The cheapest solution would be purchasing some 3M Di-NOC aluminium vinyl tape and wrap it.
