Idea I just Had about Dash Knobs on Radio

I hate the knobs on the non Navi TSX Radios. why do they have to stick out so much? It makes the car looks very cheap.

Wouldn't a more flush button with the radio look alot more classy? I think there has to be away to get rid of such a tall button, by somehow cutting it down?

any ideas anyone ? or does my idea not appeal to anyone else

the buttons on my navi looks fine =) (jk)

but seriously, does it really bother you that much? I think the factory radio for the tsx is one of better ones in the market, looks and performance wise

No, man, just having a little fun. I don't find the knobs that obtrusive, but you should be able to find replacement knobs that are shorter if you surf around the web a little.
