Cool *****, the stock one does look quite cheap.

But the **** I want to change is the drive mode selector one. The metal one on the RC is metal and nice, the NX one is plastic. Could they be changed?

Glad to see someone posted the aftermarket **** here. While it is not uncommon to change the audio ***** among the Japanese owners, I particularly find changing the audio ***** for NX is quite popular among the Japanese owners on MinKara Carview forum because it is straightforward and people complain the colour and the texture of it. Actually among the audio know mods, someone used the Mark Levinson audio **** on 3IS and put it in NX. But the **** in 3IS is actually a bit shorter which may result in some usability issue...

In addition to the ones posted by the OP, Tom's and Think Design also have audio ***** for NX.

Tom's Audio Dial Ring -- anodized aluminium and finished with champagne gold colour. Probably it is an effort to match the champagne colour of the centre console trims.

Think Design -- it is made of plastic but with satin finish which appears to be metallic

For the Drive Mode Selector ****, some NX owner on Minkara bought an aftermarket **** specifically made for Subaru STI SI-drive selector **** and modified it to use in NX.

I was noticing how the ***** on my old TL were much nicer than the NX.
Are these easy to replace?

The exchange is very simple.
Pull out the audio ****. And insert the items.

Oh god it does! Now I can't stop thinking that.

Also it's pretty slippery. Any ideas how I can fit the one from the RC to the NX?
