Too Much Chrome..?


Recommended Posts

For some reason I don't really like the chrome parts inside my car. The front speaker grilles, the gearstick surround and the knobs on the vents all stick out like a sore thumb.

Are they all chrome as standard? Can you get black versions of any of them? I just saw a door card on eBay and it looked like the speaker grilles are black... was this standard on some models?

Really does it??and take it you think it would look better in black?already car has black dash,dash black centre console,black gear stick cover, black handbrake cover etc,think the chrome gives it contrast,would look rather dull in all black especially if you had a black interior too,however everyone to their own,hehe.

Hello Gruntfuggly.

Yes, those parts are Crome on most, if not all, IS200/300s as standard.

You should be able to remove and paint them a colour of your choice, without too much trouble.

I was thinking grey like the heater knobs. Come to think of it there are quite a lot of different colours - I take your point about all black and I honestly wouldn't want that, but you've got chrome, black, grey, titanium? on the window control surrounds, blue/grey on the seats, beige headlining...

Maybe it's just the speaker grilles that I really have the issue with - they're very bright and shiny compared to everything else. Might try and paint then as you suggest. Cheers.

I would leave it chrome I think it sets the black interior off nicely personally if you paint it I think it would make the interior look dull but it's your car what ever you decide would love to see some pictures once done
