Anyone do anything about the plastic around the infotainment? It’s pretty big and ugly. Anyone put any third-party infotainment screens in that filled at whole space? Would love to see if anybody did anything to modify that area.

I honestly don’t mind it that much but I’m curious to see if anyone has installed any third-party infotainment systems That feel that whole area.

There is a carbon fiber overlay sticker on etsy I believe. I mean it's not the best fix or a 3rd party infotainment system but it's something :)

Trust me, you're better off with the matte finish. The bezel on the Lariat is glossy smooth and at certain times of the day reflects sunlight right into your eyes.
Yeah, I noticed that one time in the 13k miles I have put on. And god damn it's a real bright reflection right into the eyeball.

Mine did it to me almost daily between 12-3PM. Perhaps it is due to my height and seat position. Either way I ended up pulling the bezel out and coating it with clear plasti-dip. Hasn't been an issue since.
