Replacement dash vents help

I've had my F250 sd ps super crew for a week now and I love it.

I have only found a couple things that I'm not excited about.

One of them is the chrome vents for the A/C on the dash. While they look great, they are always catching glare from the sun and shining it straight into my eyes. For those familiar, you will understand that they have so many different angle on them that if there is sun on the dash, there will be a reflection straight into your eyes.

So what I am wondering is if anyone knows if there is an aftermarket option the is say in a carbon fiber finish or some other matte type finish.

thank you for your help.

I do not think that there is an aftermarket replacement for those. The only option would be to get them from the dealer. They should have a few different colors.

I think one member on here took his apart and used some brillo pad or something to dull them and it turned out pretty good.

Maybe you could paint them, maybe a brushed look.
