Swap on Aluminum Door Trim?

Wassup guys. I have a few scratches on the aluminum trim on the door handles (interior). Is there anyway to swap it out for new pieces? If it is where could I get the parts from and around how much would it cost?

Riverside, Grubbs or Lokey Infiniti usually have the best prices.

I have the same problem with scratches on the aluminum insets. Probably caused by my watch when reaching down to adjust the seat controls.

There are a couple different aluminum pieces out there. The 08's scratched easily and at some point in time (I don't know when) they changed to a different aluminum piece. I don't know what's different about it, different alloy, different coating, but it does not scratch as easily and it doesn't match the rest of the aluminum trim as well either.

She didn't like the look of the aluminum so here is what we did.

The CF is a vinyl wrapped. You can buy the material and diy it.

3m DI Noc vinyl. Very easy to do.
