Default Question about replacing the chrome plate around the auto shift lever...

Is there anyone else who is annoyed by the scratches in the chrome plate around the auto shift lever? I bought the car used, and the interior is mint, except for that plate. Scratches all over the place. Is there anyone who offers an aftermarket brushed aluminum one to match the other brushed pieces on the dash? I guess I could just go buy a new chrome one and take care of it, but brushed would be the way to go IMO. Also, is this piece hard to remove and replace? I haven't found a write-up on it yet.

Thanks

Default Cool! Thanks to April and Stoney..

I've often wondered about this, but hadn't gotten around to searching.

Another project added to the list.

I started with your FAQ, but didn't know what words to search for:-)
