I bet it was all set to be chrome and some bigwig Honda exec took a drive and was either:
1) Blinded by some reflection or
2) noticed it was smudged with fingerprints
So instead of changing the production line, they just painted over the existing lot of chrome ones.

If you mess up, buy the shiftplate from the 2004 RL on a parts website. Its about 15 bucks and is already chrome.

It'll fit. I only got the '04 RL shiftplate because mine was scratched anyway.

if u have none leather seats then u dont have heated seats, i think the 2.5 doesnt have heated seats at all.

1996 / 1997 3.2 TL's with the premium package
1998 3.2 TL's, heated seats are standard.

You'll have to take apart the center console.. pretty easy. 8 screws total I think.
