I followed this thread over at my350 and heard a lot of the same responses as SmoothZ - in fact I painted mine flat black myself and mentioned that over there. I think the bigger issue was the kind of shitty response and it was somewhat surprising as Coz has a great longstanding rep on the forums. He weighed in over there and to be honest, I still didn't like his response. I don't think the problem was all that substantial but after 28 years of owning my own business, I have learned perception is more than reality when it comes to a happy customer. I don't think he achieved that and I think he could have. Just my $.02..........
