Post More chrome!!!

I have an accessories catalog for the Inspire that my friend brought back for me from Japan, and I was browsing through and happened to notice what looked like a chrome shifter cover. What I mean is the aluminum looking cover that we have over the gear indicator in the middle console. I swear it looked chrome. If this is true, let me know guys, because I think that would look phat.
If someone can verify this for me, I am going to ask my friend to bring me a couple back from Japan when she goes this summer.

I wish there was a true brushed aluminum or stainless steel cover out there, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

i realized that when I looked at the brochure again. However, I personally think the chrome would add a nice touch to the interior, a bit more class.

I don't know if you guys are aware that the Inspire's inner door handle is not chrome like ours. They look to be the same color as our shifter cover. Just a fact.

I talked to some chrome shops and they say that plastic is not easily chromed and if it is to be done, the cost is uneconomical.
