im sick of the crackle black but i dont want to ruin it with paint or something in case i want to put it back on someday. I want a change and i was thinking about making a custom cover for it but i seem to have a mental block on ideas for it other than aluminum (brushed or polished). id prefer a something red or possibly a high gloss black. I have no idea how to use fiberglass otherwise id make a custom out of that and paint it. I need some suggestions and ill post pics of what ever i choose to do when i start and finish.

 

i remember awhile back somebody was making something like what you are thinking about. not really sure what became of it.

 

here ya go best i could find...

how about a metal piece powdercoated gloss black? Simple and clean looking. You could also make a matching shifter plate and possibly a radio/hvac plate too
