Search my friend, search. A couple people have done a variety of things. Some have painted, some have replaced, some have decorated with suede. ImTheDevil is a culprit of both. He painted his, got bored with that and proceeded to wrap it in black suede. Gorgeous mod, I'm in the process of getting the motivation to tear my trim out to do the same. But yea, just search for keyword "beltline trim" or "suede trim" exclusively to the B5 section and you should find ImTheDevil's two threads about his two replacements of the wood trim, and emilgevor has also followed through with the suede wrap so you'll probably find his post about it as well.

No prob man. I haven't heard of many people doing CF, I think a lot of people on here find it to be nudging too close to rice status so they stick with an overlay that is more subtle that is unique yet still flows with the 'luxury' status of the vehicle by being nice and not over played. However, if you're set on CF, somewhere in one of those threads by ImTheDevil, there is a link posted to a thread on audiworld that is an idiot proof, step by step, picture by picture method for pulling the trim out to do whatever you please with it, be it wrapping it in suede, painting it, laying over CF on it, etc.

I've done silver, piano black, and suede, and have threads with pics of each. Check the photo album on my member page for some of the pics including the silver.

By far my current setup - piano black stereo surround, and black suede on the following parts: beltline trim, shift boot, ebrake shroud, rear deck, and A-pillars. B/C pillars and headliner are coming soon in suede as well.
