Default Radio/HVAC face plate for the 2021+ IS

Has anyone figured out a way to do something about that gloss black face plate on the 2021+ IS models? I'm sure it will be a fingerprint and dust magnet. What kills me is that the 3IS had a brushed aluminum face plate that does not pick up scratches or dust, and is even color/texture matched with the vertical part underneath (where it says Mark Levinson). Any way to swap face plates, or something?

Didn’t see any swaps available sadly, i have my car for a bit over two years and i can see lot of swirls on it, and definitely dust magnet…

Only solution i can recommend is probably vinyl wrap it in some matte color or carbon fiber print (i know i know… not real carbon fiber = RICE, but it would be purely for aesthetic and OCD)

I wonder if car wrap shops can do this for me, I'll have to ask them.
