My solution is even more low-tech (and cheap): took the shroud off and sprayed the whole thing dark brown. Took me a few minutes each layer (three of them) and the cost of a spray can. So it is still plastic and not very refined, but at least it blends nicely in with the veneer of the dash and tan leather of the seats and the interior. The stalks are still black, but what the hell... The edging strip is a good idea, though - I migth add on that, also sprayed brown.
