Im in the middle of the install and am still waiting on other things, the head unit is pretty scratched up from the previous owner, so I figure why not. Im gonna start taking the blower apart tonight and see what it looks like in there. Plus my car is black, with mod red, my RSD bar is satin red as well, trying to keep the whole balck n red thing going.

I would like to dip mine in chrome for easy cleaning and of course the bling factor! Polishing that SOB is a PITA!

Just took apart an F1X and had the HAT coated with a heat dissipation coating, in black. We didn't wanna go ALL black so, we made it all contrast. Half black, half polished. Looks pretty sick.

If I get my phone to be less stupid, I will email them to myself...and post up.
