Door panel question?

I cant stand the contrast of my LS's interior. The tan/grey with the black dash looks like absolute garbage, as I've seen many people agree.

I've come up with two options that I've been considering to make it tolerable in my eyes.

Option 1:
-Aquire tan/grey leather seats out of a 4 door SS (near impossible to find local).
-Get the split black/grey door panels, which I've never even seen before with crank windows. So that would also require a power window/lock swap to do it correctly.

Option 2:
-Leather SS seats
-Aquire every single interior piece in black.

It's just my daily, so I'm in no hurry to get it to where I want it, but I also don't want to spend a fortune.

Which route would you guys take? And do LS two tone door panels even exsist? Are power lock/window harnesses plug and play like my S10?

Forgot to mention, mine is a coupe. Basically, I'm wanting to know if they made this...

08 Cobalt Left Front Interior Door Panel | eBay

...but for a coupe, with manual windows and locks.

if you're planing on getting black panels just paint the beige ones you have at the moment, its a fun project, you'll learn something about painting and its cheap. Plus, if you're getting black panels anyways, what do you have to lose?

I've looked at the ads in the classified, but I've kind of decided if I go the all black route, I'm just going to wait until someone pops up on CL parting out a car so I can snag it all at once and not pay shipping on a million different little pieces.

It doesn't bother me enough to go and paint them right now just as a quick fix, and I'd like to sell them if I replace them. I'd hate to paint over a minty set of panels anyways.

I will probably end up just spraying the head liner. Unless I can find a shop to recover it for a resonable price.

Yeah man, that'd be great, don't make a special trip or or anything.

There are a couple yards that I pass everyday, but the one is only foreign, and the other only has older cars from the 80s and 90s.
