Love everything about my AT4 except those cheap ass chrome turn knobs inside. I wouldn't mind so much if they were black as I hate chrome. I know the Chevy ones are black but they cost something like $250 a set. Has anyone removed them and maybe plasti dipped them? Was considering this but didn't want to be the guinea pig... :)

For a tool like you I will come back. You obviously wanted me to as you quoted me on here knowing I would get a notification. So here is your reply.   Yes I am on a public forum. But most pe

Nice truck! I understand when trees block your view of the forest.  If the finish on the knobs is preventing you from enjoying your truck then pay the money to replace them.  If  buying the truck has

I don’t think it’s so much that they are made of plastic, but by trying so hard to make them look like machined aluminum, they skipped the grippy rubber coating you’d find even on an economy car of 10

Problem I see with plastidip is it’s on a surface that will be touched often, and more likely will wear off. You can take them apart and have them painted black. Lot of work though

I started to like them when I realized they reflected the red blue and white lighting at night.

 

Now I dont even notice them unless it is dark out.

How difficult would it be to switch. I HATE those knobs, almost a deal breaker, but like you, love the truck. 

 

im glad you posted this, I would definitely pay $250 to get rid of those ‘gum-ball-machine-plastic-knobs’

Wish I could afford to pay that right now, but after buying the truck I can’t lol... which is why I’m looking for another alternative

Nice truck! I understand when trees block your view of the forest.  If the finish on the knobs is preventing you from enjoying your truck then pay the money to replace them.  If  buying the truck has left you without money then leave the truck completely original to maintain maximum saleability. This is not a criticism as most of us have been in a similar position.   Personally this is the sort of change I'd negotiate when I bought my truck.  If it didn't bother you at the time of purchase, then chances are you're looking for something to fuss about and it will pass in time.

It bothered me from the beginning. It’s not a deal breaker and I don’t neeeeed to do anything about them, I was just wondering if anyone had ideas besides buying the Chevy ones, to make them black. Was just throwing this out because this is a mods section to see if people out there have modded theirs....

      About the only GM that compares well with its competitors through the small to midsize vehicles is the Trax. I would like nothing better to just drive GMs. My wife in a Cadillac me in a Chevy minivan and Colorado. Part of my day is comprised of reading and watching comparisons of automobile. I could buy a car today. I’m back to research the next.
