Do you find it scratches and chips easily? I had mine replaced once already. I don't even wear a ring on my right hand?

 

None yet!

I haven't really looked though.

 

Almost 1 year and no scratches. I expected that the first thing to go would be the white print of the gear map...that's still there too though.

 

It is actually a fine plastic type film on the whole thing. The 5spd gear map is just graphics on that film. The first one I had started chipping so I peeled away at it and go the whole film off. It actually looks a lot better and more polished with it off than on (just no gearing map)! Then I replaced it under warranty (they knew about it already).

 

It's a small world...I was complaining about it this morning at the dealer, I just got mine replaced today. It had discoloured and felt scratchy like you said.

 

My sticker with the gear map came off also...now it's not "brushed aluminum," it's just aluminum. Like Michael said, it looks better, but my aluminum is starting to peel also...gonna get it replaced next trip to dealer.

 

Mine is scratched also. It does scratch easily. I just
rubbed the rest off.

 

A year and 18000 miles later and it is still fine.

 

i find mine scratching too
i dont wear a ring too
but hey phat guy, do you notice that it seems to be the botttom part of the plastic layer thar peels first then in spreads???
how did you get it replaced, did you pay for it??? or did the dealer pay for it

 

Replaced under warranty.

 

mine's still good. Looks weird in the CRX as it's the only chrome thing on the car.

 

Same problem here,

I just noticed it! the plastic film it starting to peel off on the back (side facing the radio). I'm gonna try to have it relaced under warranty.
