This isn't perfect, BUT, you can get new/replacement black plates to put on your brown unit (or if you just need to spruce up your existing radio) using this company. There will still be a lot of brown on the radio, but it's a subtle improvement.
This is a pic of a brown unit with the new black faceplates... again, very subtle, but it's still nice to have new clean markings on your radio if nothing else..
