Default Black Fuse Box Covers???

Can anyone tell me where to find some black plastic fuse box covers? I like the polished aluminum but, I really don't want to draw attention to them, just want to hide the decal and clean it up a little or paint them black. I've looked all over the internet and can't find them.

Thanks guys.

I wouldn't want to remove the decal either. A nice black cover would be more to my liking as well.

I think specialized stainless makes a cover, and it can be powder coated black. that would look pretty clean actually.

I have had pieces powdercoated and painted by folks. They just buy the brushed pieces and piant them whatever color they wish.

This is Carlos' car. He purchased our covers and had them powder coated black. I really like the look!

If you want to save the stickers you can.. just carefully peel them up and stick them on the bottom of the plastic covers that are currently on there. I did this before my set of Specialized Stainless covers and it worked like a charm. BTW I highly recomend Steve's work. Its spot-on!

I've been looking for the one that is one-piece. Anyone know which one I am talking about?

I like that one peice as well and I haven't been able to find it any where.

The above mentioned powder coating ones look great. I'm not questioning the quality, just don't have the money at the moment. I love those polished stainless as well and especially the etched flames.

A while back, I made 10 of the one piece fuse box covers one day when I was messing around in the shop. I made them all out of thick stainless steel.
