    What are you doing to cover this up? Is there an aftermarket kit?

    If I want it to look cruddy, I'll leave it as is! : ) But seriously, am I alone on finding it cheap-looking and garish?

    Merged.

    I hadn't read Prodigyplace's post when I posted my retort. But I'm afraid of messing up with a spray.

    I'll stick with WHITE - it doesn't show dust.

    Matte black would fit better with my trim two console. It is matte black.

    Okay. I'm already over it. Although I wish I hadn't read the "looks like urinal" post somewhere else...

    I've never been a fan of white in dashes. Our son had a Maxima with white background on the speedo and tach dial, meh. Textured, matt, dark grey, I'm there.

    Toyo's in their Zoolander phase methinks.

    I like it. Matches my white paint. I don't even notice it anymore.
    (And when you have a $1500 insurance bill :( a little white plastic is WAY down the list of gripes! :LOL:)
