Could try rubbing down & spraying piano black or just replace....doubt if you`ll find perfect ones but should be able to get `em half decent. Whereabouts are you

Thats one very worn interior looks like an ex taxi or Police car  :o I think the easiest fix is to look for a donar car for replacement trim.
