Honestly, I'd prefer not to have mine Piano Black (marketing for really shiny, easily scratched black plastic). But I'm not at the point of doing anything about it yet.
yeah my mazda 3 has something similiar. Was thinking about looking around to see if there was anything nicer to replace it with like real aluminum but havent bothered with it.
