two pieces of electrical tape are your best friend....
Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do, just going to take my time so it doesn't look too cheesy.

You're talking about the 40/20/40 split front bench with the fold down center console right? It does come apart. Start by taking out the four screws that hold the top to the bottom.(Hinge) Then take out the four screws that hold the hinge on to the top. They have alignment nipples, so it's idiot proof. The trim piece underneath with the foam in the middle. Stick your hands in there and that square will pop out. There are several tabs that have to come unclipped. Once the square trim piece is out of the way. There are two screws that hold the chrome handle to the latch assembly. You can continue to unscrew everything and wrap the other trim. I wrapped the chrome piece with the striker assembly together. It gave me a handle to help wrap it. Phillips screw driver. T15 and T20.

As you can see in my poorly rotated photo, I pulled my dash apart and plastidipped everything to match my interior accent lighting.

Didn't realize how badly the contrast of the tan dash, steering wheel, and center console would be.

Planning on breaking it down again and going all black instead. Hardest part are the vent trim. But with a plastic autobody tool or a flathead screwdriver and some patience they come right out. The rest is like 4 screws and a little painters tape and you can be rid of the interior shine.

I've added a few chrome accents including chrome windshield wipers. Hasn't bothered me one bit even when it does reflect at me a little. My fiancée has chrome interior trim in her Journey and I've had no issues with it either. I think most people are just anti chrome right now. I like my Ram to have that Denali appeal even if its just a cheap Big Horn.


Lol. It bothered me.

Hence the reason I started the thread.

I'm not anti chrome. I just don't like it bothering me while I drive.

I used a small piece of vinyl wrap and wrapped the chrome handle on my fold down center console.
