    I've seen a set that was wrapped. They were originally red but wrapped in blue camo. Wasn't my thing but it looked pretty good.

    If your just wanting something simple you can order all kinds of vinyl wrap. It shouldn't be that hard to do

    You can buy vinyl online and put it on yourself there is nothing to it and they are nothing to wrap once you take off the top and side covers. Its about 3 bucks a yard.

    How do you deal with the cable groove on the side when wrapping with vinyl? It isn't very wide.

    What do you mean, you would wrap over it and then slice it and fold the wrap into it around the edge.

    That's how the ones I saw were done. The inside won't be done if that's what he was talking about

    I may have to try this. I have the old version and raw aluminum doesn't look bad..... I just think some wrapped ones would look better.
