Can I get XLT console HANDLE in black???

A few months ago, I got the OEM leather seats off ebay and had them installed. To finish it off, I just had the center console covered in black leather. Looks great, except for the handle, which is still gray.

So does anyone know if Ford makes a black handle for my console? If so, would anyone happen to know the exact part #??? Just in case I'm not clear what I mean, here are some pics:

If you can find some black paint that matches close and paint it. Not that the part from Ford would be expensive.

I've been looking around on Ford Parts Network, and all I'm seeing so far is Flint or Pebble. No black...???...

I can read I was just stating that I've never heard of an XLT with "black interior" it's grey!

The lid on the interior shots of an XLT to Lariat look to be the same, but it is kind of hard to tell if they are 100% the same.
Sorry looks like you are going to have to take a trip to a Ford dealer, and do a visual on it.
The parts show as different part numbers, but that could be only for the color changes between them. I'd hate to have you buy a handle, only to find out for some reason, it is different ( don't know why Ford would do that, but they have done just as silly of things before ).

Good luck, let us know what you come up with, for the next guy.

The same place that installed my leather covers did it... They charged $85, but included in that was an additional $30 because I wanted genuine leather, not vinyl... As far as level of dificulty, I have no idea... But I can tell you that it's much more 'comfortable' now, since I had them pad-up the armrest about 1 1/2 inches...
