Default TRIM PIECE AROUND SHIFT KNOB?

My trim started peeling for some reason. I was wondering if anyone knows if I can buy this piece alone w/o buying a whole new center console.

Its the trim that goes around the shift knob + top/hazard switches.

Its for an ap1

If you're talking about this....





You can use rubbing alcohol and a rag to make it look like this in about 10 minutes.... all personal preference.. I like the shiny look and it will maintain this color as far as I can tell forever...

haha. Never knew it was like that underneath. Is rubbing alcohol the best thing to use?

I guess you could do it around the gauge cluster too then huh??

Rubbing alcohol works fine if your worried about hurting something.

Good question about the cluster. I am curious to that as well.

I did this with mine some years back and if gets just a bit dull just use some more rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth.

it's a potentiometer (I think that's what it's called? I don't really know)... it controls the level of the amp powering the subs... yes, my car is slow.
