Default Re: Anyone Paint Their Own Console? (Silver Pieces)

Sorry guys didn't get the response email. (habbit of unsubscribing instead of following the link) Looking at the pic it looks to be like the xfire one but mine is not the same as either (but basically the 170 series one with black face) Either way they should both work, I am just making the assumption the xfire style one would fit best/install easier but I do not have any experience to go by. Let me know though as I would not mind getting another to get rid of my intermittent issue with it turning itself on. I basically went with the cheapest one I could find with no damage/wear on the dials/buttons.

One suggestion I do have though (if not already mentioned) is to sand the temp dials down on the outside of the dial instead of widening the xfire plate to make them fit. There is very little protrusion so the outsides are basically covered by the plate and not visible. I gave a couple quick scrapes around the faceplate holes but just for final adjustment of the fit as the rounded corners are a bit tight. I have yet to do the lighting conversion but hope to get on it soon, have been debating full amber for a while but will prob stay with green.
