Your car turned out nice!
With my brother's help I am going to be swapping in some tan interior goodies into my black Z06 over the winter. Not going to go quite as far as you, as I plan to stay with the black carpet and black seats.

Tan carpet / door panels / sills / belt covers / glove box / bolster: $830
Lloyds mats in tan: $140
New sport seat foam: $440
New seat skins: $730
Repairing drivers seat issue: $50
Boots: free w/ seat skins
(not yet arrived):
Vette Essentials steering wheel: $290
Vette Essentials door pulls: $160
Carskinz console lid: $200
Carskinz C6 shift ****: $100
Carskinz ebrake handle: $100
TOTAL: $2880
However, I sold off a lot of old parts:
black carpet/ panels / sills / covers / glove box / bolster: $750
Z06 seat skins: $150
(will sell next month) extra set of black/tan boots (~$50)
TOTAL $950 recouped
So, after everything settles out, it looks like this is about a $2000 project, which isn't bad considering I also got entirely new seats out of it, as well as a host of VE and Carskinz products! I took advantage of VE's 20% off sale in December, and also threw some business at Carskinz because he does great work as well.
For the rim repair:
$65 to assemble all supplies, including custom-mixed aerosol can of wheel paint, argent silver, WA9789
~$100 in mounting/unmounting tire fees (can be done w/o doing this but this way is easier)
TOTAL $165

awesome! black/tan in a black car has always been a very classy look, regardless of how you proportion the colors!

Are you referring to the side sill? it removes very easily. If you follow it back towards the seat belt area, you'll see that the piece comes to an end, overlapping another trim piece. From this end, simply pull upwards. The aft end is secured by clasps that just push into place; pulling up snaps them loose. Work your way to the front, still pulling up. When you get near the front half, you'll begin pulling up and rearward, as the foremost clip is situated horizontally. I think there are four clips total that secure the piece. No screws, no tools needed.
