Food for thought...
On the 5th gen's, the exposed was a $600 option, but if you needed to replace it with a genuine Chevy exposed insert, the dealer price is roughly $4,000.00. Ask me how I know.
I have a triple black 2013, and a couple years after I bought it, it developed a blemish of some unknown source near the middle of the insert. Whatever caused it, seems to have penetrated down to the weave itself, and has left a depression in the insert that can't be repaired.
The point is, if I wanted to 'fix' the insert, I'd have to replace the entire insert if I wanted to keep it as exposed.
My options are, to spend the big bucks for a genuine GM exposed insert, or have a body shop fill in the depression (about the size of a nickel), then have it painted.
yes I know there are aftermarket exposed inserts, but I worry about the quality.
So far I'm just living with the blemish.
