Are there or, is there a way to have the CD and floppy drives front plates be black to match the case? Is this a type of mod, or the only way to do this is to find black drives originally?

Thanks,

You can buy drive faces black, and I've seen replacement faceplates on Newegg.com. You take the original off and put the new one on I think.
Another way you could do it is to just take the face plates off and paint them, its really not that hard.

I have been using for a while automotive dash and interior dye (its really a complete color) it comes in hundreds of colors and permiates the plastic and doesnt deform it.Comes in a spray can and runs about 7 bucks.
I usually use a plastic adhesion coat before I spray,but with the dash coat it really isnt nessisary.
I completely remove the covers from the drives and remove the open button and the clearlight windows.
Works great.
