lol there really isnt more to say .. they were .59cents each. i spray painted them and glued them in place. easy as that
only paint one side so the epoxy can stick. really easy and cheap mod :)

Nice. I wanted silver for mine. I was going to paint mine, but I'm not sure how to remove that vent assembly.
