Looking for wood trim for gear shift surround

Greetings everyone! I'm new to the group and have a trim question. I recently got an F30 but I noticed the silver trim around the gear shift was scratched and bubbling (see picture). I'd like to replace it but I don't really like the silver and I'm not a huge fan of carbon fiber (I know, weird haha). So I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere I could get trim in wood to match the other interior trim? Thanks in advance for your help!

You can wrap it, although matching the stock trim would be difficult. I wrapped all of my wood trim, as the stock was too dark for my taste. I didn't wrap the shifter escutcheon, I wrapped the trim it sits on, but the escutcheon could be wrapped.

Thank you for the suggestion. Where did you find the wrap? Thanks!

I got mine from an outfit in Detroit, so I doubt you'd order from there. Google '3M Di-Noc' for suppliers closer to you.
