need an some input here

1: how should attach the front on with allen head bolts that are black or reagular crosshead bolts that are silver

2: the faceplate should it be silver or black

 

[lord_tris]

any one have any thoughts or ideas

 

[CrimandEvil]

I'd go with the Allen head, it would look much nicer.

 

[lord_tris]

thanks

I love the "Aria" lettering. Did you do that yourself or did that come with the case? I'm curious as to how you would pull that off. Looking good so far.

 

[lord_tris]

that is how it came from the factory
and thanks
