Interior chrome blinding me

[jtyson]

Is there a vinyl kit anyone is aware of? I like the looks of the chrome but I seems to be designed so that no matter the time of day, sun is reflecting off it directly into my eyes. I find myself draping hand towels and bandanas over things to keep the glare at bay.

I had the same issue with my 2013 ram, the shifter bezel was blinding. I ended up painting it black and it worked perfectly. Just sand it down, prime and paint.

Somebody else had that problem and they got some carbon fiber vinyl wraps do covered everything. I think it was @MADDOG I might be wrong though.

I wrapped the surround on my SRT8 with leather to match the rest of the trim inside.

I wrapped the surround in my 2007 MegaCan with a light grey carbon fiber to match the interior of that vehicle.

I haven't done anything with the surround in my CTD yet. That little ring looks like a real PITA to get out.

I put a piece of electrical tape on mine. One of these days I’ll attempt taking it apart and painting it. At the same time the whole interior will get a makeover.

I use a vinyl decal. I have one on my center lid latch can snag a pic later....it matches my 4x4 shift knob.

My wife has the same problem in her car. Will most likely use carbon fiber wrap. Always had good luck with it and looks decent.

Did the same thing with mine. Reflections off that little handle were annoying at times.

i bought some vinyl wrap to do the radio bezel, the vent rings, and the console trim. Bought, not applied. Far too many projects get in the way of any real progress on any one project. that frustrates me more than the reflections/glare.

This is what I did for my jump seat, already had it laying around.

^^Same here. Had a partial sheet of matte black vinyl..one minute and no more scorched retinas

Check the mods under $100 thread. Plenty of pictures and talk about wrapping all the pieces.

I used the spray plastic dip gray in color looks stock and if u scratch it just peel and replace

 

[bruce219]

I ordered some wrap,gonna give it a try.

Went w/ electrical tape. Worked perfectly

After I added the window tint “brow” I no longer have the issue.

Thanks for all the responses. Don't want to respond to this many individually so I'll just touch on some.

Eyebrow - not my cup of tea. I hate the dark line I'm either ducking under or trying to squint through to see stop lights.

Plastic dip/spray - not looking to do anything multiple times

Paint - I may go this route, though I'd rather something that was removable so when I go to sell the truck, if the next person prefers chrome, they can take it off.

Vinyl - this was what I was hoping for. But I was hoping for a pre cut kit out there somewhere. I know I've seen them for other vehicles. I'd just rather peel and stick than have to cut and screw everything up and do it multiple times or have it look half-assed.
