Sweet, how well does it match the other silver trim in the car?

the matt chrome finish blends well within the interior,far nicer than the black push buttons

They look a little larger than the black plastic ones. Is there enough room for them to still function?

As they are covers they obviously are larger than the buttons they cover, when ordering Ialso feared it could be too large but it works well.

I was referring to your comment that they are better than '80s plastic, which is ironic since chromed plastic was very popular in cars of that decade. That being said, they do look better than the black ones. At least i think so, based on the photos.

Kiddin'

Agree, though the matt-brush look is something we've only seen in the last decade.

I'm torn on these... on one hand it's cheap and covers up some ugly black plastic. On the other hand it might draw more attention to them, something i don't want to focus on.

Caraibam can you post some more shots, maybe from a distance? Thanks!

Would be nice to paint the inner part black, to leave just the edges chrome, like an accent. Not sold on these like they are.

These look interesting. Don't know if I could pull the trigger since I'm such a stickler for stock interiors. I'm sure they look good in certain interiors. Were you happy with the quality?
