    Was just sitting here chatting with my partner over the lunchbreak and managed to drag my line of sight around the console cupholder trim and it blinded me like a laser beam.
    Looks like some of the chrome plating is extra shiny and thats where it got me.
    Frigging truck only has 95,000 miles on it and chrome is still going strong, wonder when it’ll ever dull.

    Grrr.

    There is a solution to that!

    @rrentrop makes matte black vinyls for most of the interior chrome. SR envy.

    That chrome was reflecting into my eyes and also reflecting into the windows which would cause me to look quickly for a possible collision.

    And, for the committed:

    Same here. It's one of those mods I have just been putting off. One day it will finally piss me off and I'll do something about it!
