Planning on chroming the power seat switches.

Was able to remove the rear power seat switches with just one screw. However the front seats seem more difficult. I removed the torx screws on the forward parts and the assembly is loose, but won't come off. Feels like there is something in the middle holding it. Don't want to break it, even though they are only about $13 and hope I don't have to take out the entire seat.

 

WOW, these look like a Rolls Royce stuff

 

Anybody? Please and thank you.

 

If your talking about the front master window switch I can tell you it's 2 screws and it pops right out. I just replaced mine 15 minutes ago. Works like a charm

 

Man jahummer, you are really getting nuts about all this chrome and suede. Isn't leather and wood enough for you?!

 

THank you, but I was referring to the power seat switch packs.

 

Ha ha As much as I love the way the car is designed, it's not English enough for my taste.

Here's the deal. I typically lease cars no more than 2-3 years. Obviously I have kept this one longer as I have yet to find anything to replace it, including the new XJ. So instead I have decided to keep it for a while longer and spend that extra cash on upgrading it with subtle enhancements. The car runs like new and still has 2.5 years of bumper to bumper warranty.

I have always liked the Arden chrome accents and decided to replicate them with factory parts, probably the same way they do. Don't get me wrong I am not going too far with the chrome, for example I would never use the appliques on the exterior door pillars and frankly this is all I have left to chrome on the inside. I think the results so far are quite spectacular.

The suede upgrades are standard on the higher trim levels of many high-line cars and looks factory, not aftermarket.

The only exterior upgrades I have coming up are smoking the orange side signal repeaters since the car is black and the doors have the factory mouldings, it will make the repeaters blend right in instead of standing out as much as they do. I considered going with the 2006 clears, but decided this will look much better. And I will chrome the thin aero blade insert in the front bumper, below the grille and that's it!

 

I almost forgot. I am considering having either the leather door inserts or the upper section of the door panels converted over to matching genuine burl, but that might be too much.

 

I am impressed with your modification(s). Where did you find the chrome seat control replacement parts? I believe there are also similar vehicle-specific chrome replacement parts for the master and passenger window controls, right? Would you be so kind as to advise? Thank you, kindly.
