Default Dash change

There is a strip that goes over the front edge of the dash, in front of the driver. Most are the same color as the interior, but some match the seats. Is there an option on the 2LT to have that piece replaced to match the seats?

For example: (from a previous post)

Part number on piece: 340074AA
Part number on invoice: 022914871

P/N 23164486

Note that in a 3LT with the colored strip (gray or red) the colored strip extends down the driver's door. If you decide to add the colored strip to the dash of a 1LT or 2LT it will end abruptly where the dash meets the door. The only way to have it continue down the door like it does on a 3LT is to replace the entire interior door panel.

Yes, you must do the door panel or you will lose the cockpit wrap around look and your interior will not look right. If you buy it, buy the door panel to match.

The only correct way to do it IMO is to use a door panel from a 2015 Kalahari Z06 since the one used on a non-Z06 is going to have much more than just the small strip in Kalahari.
