Good idea. I'll get to it in about 3 days. Just returned from the hospital - lower back surgery. Minimally invasive laminectomy and phklxdrkgsldmkg-omy.

I am walking already...slow...but walking. So far, so good.

Keep movin you don't want to stiffen up, well you do but not in your back. I hate chrome on the outside but I find if any chrome catches my eye it is the little stripes on the shifter, I can imagine those Mopar or Hurst chrome ones...must really be an eye grabber.

Chrome has never been known to get you home, BLACK IT ALL OUT BABY...!!!! hehehehe
I am NO FAN OF CHROME either, my truck is blacked out completely..!!!
Even all my dash trim, door trim and the console are all blacked out.

Acetone removes the chrome. An old trick, nothing new. Google it.

I used plasti dip on my shifter bezel, went on easy, holding up real good so far, and I like the textured look.
