Default Interior question

I recently (last weekend) bought a 2021 (lowly 1LT) coupe. The car has 12k miles on it and is immaculate. The only issue I have is that the previous owner purchased and installed almost every plastic, stick-on, faux, carbon fiber trim piece made.
I prefer the natural look so I proceeded to remove said trim pieces and everything came off fine until I got to the pieces that run along side the heat/A/C controls and up on to the dash. Unfortunately it appears that the 3M tape didn’t work well so the previous owner re-glued the pieces on with Gorilla Glue which has eaten into the dash material.
With all that said I am going to replace three pieces of the dash, the pieces on either side of the climate controls and the dash pad on the passenger side.
Heres my question. My interior is a black 1LT with a light grey/whitish stitching. The three pieces I need all come in either “Black/Grey Leather” or “Black/Grey TPO” (AKA Plastic). I’m 99% sure it’s TPO because it’s 1LT but wanted to confirm before I ordered the wrong parts.
Can anyone verify my assumption?
Thanks

Call a Chevy dealer with your VIN and they can provide the correct part # and description.

The above is good advice.
For the life of me I don't understand why some will take a $100,000 sportscar and stick that cheap crap all over it.
