Question Interior showing its age (Like me!)

Hi! I'm in South Orange County, SoCal.

Needs help!

Color is faded.

Scratched. What to do?

I need some help as this is NOT my thing. I've had the interior painted twice (peeling off), but I need to repair: *See pix.

The faux leather black sock around the clutch ****/gear shift. Hey, I've had the **** come off in my hand, pulling the entire sock out with it, when I was driving. Yes.
The brake handle has faded so badly. Ugh.
The silver plastic console base pieces are scratched. What to do?

And no, I can't do this myself. I have a great mechanic I trust, but this will not be his thing. I drive Cross every day, and have since 2009, 94K miles. I will do whatever I can to keep her looking great.

Advice appreciated, please, thanks!

PS I resized all photos, but two of them above are huge. How to remedy here? Thank you!

Nothing wrong with putting photos that have not been resized, the forum automatically resizes them to fit. Nothing wrong in big pictures as it helps people see the details.

My console looked a lot worse than yours. I just removed the plastic pieces & paints with Duplicolor Platnium paint. I wish I had taken before pictures but forgot to do it. Here’s the “after”.

Your interior looks amazing. So I think you're saying that you removed all that and painted with that paint? I love the look. Wow.

Not sure, Laguna Hills area. Do you have a person in this area who can do the repairs the experts here have suggested for my interior? Don't know how to find "that person." Thank you!

Go to Ebay and type in Chrysler Crossfire dash trim kit. That is what I did.

I found that, but I can't do it myself. I know this. It will be a mess.
