Buzzardmountain did it I think..his is beautiful, but it probably isn't a DIY..and if it is..looks difficult. I think he is also customized to hold an ipod.

I took mine to a shop. I know it is a lengthy process and it will take a lot of time to do on your own. Finding the right paint color is also a challenge. IIRC, it is not the same as the paint you can order from the factory, since that is exterior paint, which is not ideal for the plastic interior pieces.

Here are some pics:

Painted black to keep it looking stock.
