chrome shift plate

yeaahhh baby. i went to walmart and picked up a can of paint remover for 4 bucks . i pried my beat up, scrached shift plate off my 99tl and sprayed some of this miracle foam.. 2 minutes and all that grey crap came off and i found the burried treasure. why would acura want to hide such splender. all of you 99'ers have to do this. takes 5 mins and 5 dollars.

I've been thinking my death would come from doing the crome shifter mod and driving with the sunroof open and getting blinded!!@! Seriously though it's cool but it looks too shiny...
If I do that mod i'm gonna have to go crazy and customize the entire interior of the car!! What is the exact brand called? I rarely go to walmart...

Are the scratches that are in the covering of the crome non-existent when the crome is uncovered?
Because I have tons of scratches on my plate.
