So I just got into my car tonight and noticed that the gray/silver material around the hvac/cd player is bubbled on the edge and there is a part that folded into a crease. Its not a real big area but it's definitely noticeable. I don't think there is going to be any way to repair it. Has this happened to anyone else? How much would that whole part be to replace?

 

Paint it, it's pretty easy. Or to replace would be around $140-$200 depending on what you need:

This silver trim in my '04 has started to fade and appear splotchy. Not sure if it is a result of sun or some type of cleaner from the previous owner, but I think I'll need to repaint / replace before I can sell this thing. Any tips on paint purchase if I wanted to go that route?
