    I replaced the climate control knobs with black knobs, but am looking for a decal/sticker that will cover the outer rings that go around the knobs.....the "sliver/grey" area that shows fan speed and temperature. Any thoughts on where to get something like this or any ideas on how to hack it myself? I've thought about a round, black sticker - cut it to fit and just cover up the ring...I mean, it's just fan speed and temp, right?

    Thoughts?

    Following. I'm surprised someone hasn't 3d scanned this part yet and came up with something. It's been talked about forever now. I'd like something that still showed the info myself

    I'd like to have the rings show the info, too...but would settle for just a self-hacked black ring. The silver is bugging me. Everything else on that dash has been covered in matte black.

    Based on a post in a FB group, www.trailmade.com has something in the works. They already made an all black transfer case dial knob.

    Any luck finding it? It's the only thing not black on my whole console now. It drives me nuts.

    I would definitely be into a black trim ring with white lettering. Crossing my fingers :)

    Sadly, no. I did, however, buy some round, black vinyl decals that should work to cover the silver and plan to cut them to size and stick them on the silver parts.... Here's hoping.

    There is a thread in T4R with the guy chugging away on it in his spare time. It isn't great but it's getting better.

    I can't find it. I swear I just read through it last week. Maybe it's buried here in this forum.
