I pulled the trim pieces out and painted them with Satin Black Rustolium rattle can from Walmart. It matches the sheen of the center display outer trim nicely. Gently pull straight back on the trim pieces. There are several fingers/clips that simple push into the dash. No more shadow trim glowing in the widow.
But why black? These cars are fun! Paint the trim dark green, dark blue, dark grey. And when you get bored of it pull them out and repaint another color.

I will buy the stick on trim caps for the gear shift and door handle area and paint them before installing. Pulling the door and center trim would be a pain just to paint them.

And you’ll notice the steering wheel black out emblem. I bought the black one on Amazon. You’ll be glad you do it too. The glare off the chrome badge is worse than you think.
