Is there a name for this part of a car's interior?

I want to describe this car for someone who has never seen it.

Around the car's interior, there is beautiful piano black .....streaked with slender white stripes.

I want a word to fill in the blank.
 
Trim, maybe.
 
Maybe lower, passenger-side dashboard in American English. It's very likely different in British English.

Is this okay?

More than just okay. It sounds perfectly natural.

Wouldn't "streaked with stripes" be tautologous?

Sorry I missed this before. You need to hyphenate when you make an adjective from a sequence of nouns. Native speakers often miss this too.

We say dashboard in BrE. Dashboard trim works for me.
