Default Interior Mod Help Please

I have a 2008. For the most part I'm happy with the interior.

This is my daily driver. I have the nicer CF console around the radio and shifter.

I want to spruce up the interior but obviously you can spend some serious $ and if you only go half way it looks odd as well.

I want to do 1-3 mods at the most.

I have seen CF for by the door locks but if all you do is that will it look odd?

Also, I am looking at the center console piece and the pad. I've seen this in CF and it looks pretty good but not sure it will match my existing CF.

Also, I think I have seen where DSV does the console compartment in all leather and the door but I think that is $800.

Anybody have photos? Anything I do, I want to do right, I don't want a leather overlay etc.

Thanks for your help.

Examples :

My plan is to do the Gauge Cluster surround (and vent on drivers side all one piece), The Vent on the passenger side of dash, and the window switch housings on the doors in matching the OEM Hydrocarbon.

I think that would be enough for me. I already have a DSV leather console pad. My opinion would be not to get the carbon arm rest "pad" since I like to actually use it to rest my elbow and that would be too hard.

I've thought of doing the real carbon fiber but I don't want to swap the center console/radio surround to match it. All has to be the same or just stay stock for me.
