Being that I hate chrome and it annoys me every time I drive in the mid afternoon and the reflection on the chrome ring within the center console around the gear shifter, is there any factory options that have this part in a non-chrome configuration or am I left to modify it to something different?

My last ram (13 lone star) didn't have the chrome, but it doesn't take much to hydrodip it or plastidip it.

I haven't seen any factory options without the chrome trim ring if you have the console, but as saints said, it's easy to remove and paint or dip. I got rid of all the chrome in my Ram for that very same reason

Well with that I will be painting it, maybe just wrap the whole damn console in leather and paint the ring the same color as the console used to be... just figured out what my plans are. I'll get to that when I do the seats... I'll paint it now though.

I plasti-dipped that ring on my 13 and I was reminded one afternoon that I need to do the same on my 15. Chrysler has to know how irritating that chrome ring is by now. It's been years - they could make it light gray or something. Gesh!

All the manufactures have chrome in their interiors. My Super Duty is the worst of all of them with those damned chrome vent rings.

That trim is just silver in my limited. Not chrome or shiny at all. It's the same for all the air vents too. MUCH better than the damn chrome

Can you post pick of your console / radio area? All the ones I have seen even limited have had the chrome. The Cummins don't.

Thank you. Maybe I will get some paint and paint the chrome. I actually like the look but the random shine in my face while driving does get old...

Yeah that's the nice thing about the limited. It's got the same look basically just without the terrible glare

wow thats expensive for a piece of plastic. Plus the expense of getting all the other pieces to match.

Yes, and no- its a one time no mess solution, because your door handles are chrome, the ram in the center is chrome, yet my door panels have satin silver in them and chrome. my dash has a silver surround. I am honestly, its like they built the truck with any colored piece of plastic/metal they can find. I have 3 dif colors of silver, 2 charcoal greys, 1 chrome, flat black and gloss black in the damn things and all I added 1as 1 color of the silver! somehow it all blends and looks good, but I did go the extra step to minimize the chrome and I am down to this giant ram horn on the steering wheel that mocks me every time I drive !

I fill that if you buy a sport with the front and rear bumpers color coded, there should also be a matching interior option. No need for chrome unless you purchased a truck with the chrome package, just my opinion.

Dear Lord, THANK YOU.... I'm not the only one. The person who signed off on that chrome interior I'd like to slap in the face :chair:

That's one reason why I like the 3rd Gen interior the best. But our '13 'rango R/T has the stupid chrome as well and I'm not sure what to do. I just don't wanna take all the bezels out and wrap them in foil...

It's terrible...
