Alternate faceplate for PC TypIII?

[SoulsCollective]

I've been wanting to pick up a TIII for a while now, but what really puts me off is the butt-ugly plasticky faceplate on the thing. I remember reading somewhere that alternate faceplates were in the works, but I can't find the post now and there's nothing showing up on the PC website.

Does anyone know if there's a faceplate replacement in the works (fingers crossed for black anodized Al) or available from anyone? At present this would just ruin the front of my TJ-09, so I'm not getting one until there's some alternative available.

Ooo, goody - in stock at MM "sometime today"? I'm presuming that's US time, will have to order tomorrow morning then.

OK, just talked with Brian and he says the face plates are there and look great. He is going to get some pictures to show the new grain direction (the correct direction) later today if he can. He also said he can put them on moddersmart.com today for those who don't mind plain packaging and no instructions.

Installation is pretty straight forward...apply the double back tape around the edge on the back and press the face plate onto your T3. You may need to adjust the T3 back some as the face plate is 1/16" thick. If your case does not have the adjustable type slots in the optical bays (most cases do) you may need to file the holes back a tiny bit--2 minute job if your a case modder, but if your not a "tinker with it type" have a look at your case before ordering please =)

There are 50 brushed anodized black, 40 brushed silver, and 10 polished...when they are gone they are gone so if you need a face plate...don't wait.

Keep your eye on Primochill and moddersmart should be on pretty soon.
