I am going to cover it in 3m, stuff called Di Noc.. It looks like dry carbon fiber, but is very subtle, not ricey looking.. It wont chip off or flake like paint would..
Can't wait for the denali cplor trim accents show up for the thing.. Thanks man

Thanks brotha.. I guess the ricers played it out for me.. Just doesn't look as tasteful to me as mounting them in places they shouldn't be.. So they gotta go.. LOL

So does the whole back of it stick? or is there an adhesive you have to use?

Yes it has a sticky back to it. You can use a heat gun, heat it to make some bad *** contours and all. I did the back of my fascinate cell phone with it, it looks like dry carbon..

I might be able to do one.. You would have to do all the cutting of the tray.. I could make you just the the face plate. But your cut tray would have to be the same as mine because of the way I made the fasteners..
