SLVRC230SS Custom Black BiX
I finally have the time to do this. Thanks for DIY from Rlee and C24 that make me feel more confident before I take a part the bix.

I know it's a pain in the *** to take those things apart, so if you're gonna do this mod, I'd make sure the color is really going to make a positive impact.

Hmm, maybe I'll take another picture and let's see. I thought about doing the silver but I'm planning to do the CF grill and get the black theme going.

I think it looks great, but then again I think anything looks better than chrome. When you change the grill, I think everything will look even better. I'm also a big fan of CF, now that you guys are doing this yourself, someone should get roll of simulated CF from sticker city and apply that to the lights instead of painting. Just my two cents.

I guess it does make a difference. Let me know what you think.. Post# 16
With Flat Black:
With Gloss Black:
I know some people don't like black housing, but I do, I guess changing it to gloss black makes a difference.
What you think.....
