Gen1 shifter knob chrome wear

[Lgsm]

I just bought a 2011 Raptor and am so happy. It is incredibly clean and low mileage however the chrome on the shifter knob is worn and starting to peel. Any ideas other than replacing the whole assembly?

Sing me up too. ‘14 is showing some flaking. What’re the options out there?

You could send it out for vacuum chroming, it seems easier to find a replacement though. Another option might be having it leather wrapped.

Following. My 2012 is threatening to flake as well. It looks more wrinkled on the top right now, but it's just a matter of time. I hate chrome.

New shifter handle looks like it costs $77 Tasca

It'd be nice to replace it with something that wasn't stupid chrome. Why are we still using that?! Guess you could pull it out and DIY something to it.

Here's that link to the Tasca part you mentioned. What do you think the odds are those covers pull off without breaking?

Looks like the newer f150 cover the chrome piece in leather.

I'd love an alternative option - plastic chrome doesn't belong on a Raptor IMO
