There's a DIY on this site. Here's the link: http://www.e46fanatics.com/howto/how...hp?howto_id=24. I just did it yesterday, and it's not that tough.

It's easy, I am in the middle of painting mine right now. Where did you get your gauge rings?

AlbertEinstein thanks for the info. Did you remove/paint your housing yet? I finished mine on Sunday night. I was actually pretty easy and it looks bad as hell.

Yes very good. I used HiTemp Aluminum paint and clear coat. It looks much better than the stock black. What color did you use?

Jason D,

I just used standard clear coat from Home Depot. I could not find a HiTemp clear coat @ Home Depot.
