Is it really worth omitting the chrome from the power mirror switch?

    If my 2.0 Limited has chrome I haven’t noticed what bothered me was the chrome mirror covers. First thing I did.

    Glove compartment keyhole done yet? Only the most astute chrome deleters catch that one. :rolleyes:

    There's a solution for that now as well:

    Still not much out there for the side view window knob.

    The mirror switch and the glove box are the only two shiny things remaining on my truck. Neither bother me enough to mess with it.

    Has anyone found a solution to deleting this chrome piece of crap? I find the light reflecting off of it to be very distracting and annoying.

    I don't get the chrome hate. It's not a 50's Chevy.

    Anyone figure out how to remove the chrome on the ignition and tailgate keys? So annoying, it keeps me up at night. :D

    tiny bits of chrome on interior switches don't blind me or kill night vision.

    not being able to completely disable interior lighting or turn the brightness WAY down does piss me off.

    ...AND before anyone says "You can dim the interior"... the little knob near the odometer doesn't dim enough for pitch darkness and the backup camera screen will blind you regardless of the screen display settings.

    It took me way too long to figure out you meant the mirror.

    You need to do something about those vent rings.

    You can, but you have to replace the whole windshield with it; kind of a pain in the ass.

    Mine came with a black chrome knob from the factory. Wish I had a part number! PXL_20221019_224345707.jpg
