My C5 is also silver in color and would look good with this mod. I just can't get myself over the edge to do it yet.

PM me your steps please. I've been too much of a wimp to do this yet, but it looks so GOOD.

How hard is it, really? I'm completely useless with my hands. I'd be afraid of messing up the tape lines or something like that.
