Hey guys, i have a black 2003 CTS and the area in the back of mine is gray.
I know the newer versions have the same color as the exterior of the car that looks 10 times better.
i want to make mine black.
how would i go upon painting it, and is it easy to do or should i take it to a shop to get done?
has anyone else on this site changed theirs to the color of the car exterior?

please let me know guys.
Thanks.

i covered mine with the E&G louvered rear bezel. you need to get it painted, but i think it looks really nice. (sorry bout the goofy pic, my digital camera was dicked up).

others have just purchased the 04 or newer rear bezel that is color matched, lindsey cadillac would probably give you the best price. do a search of the forum, there have been many threads on this.

Man thet rear bezel looks sick on urs.
i think i might just cop one of those for mine lol.
Thanks for the infro kfx!

rear license plate area = rear bezel

if u like the louvered bezel then u should get one for sure... and while you're at it, go for the louvered hood too (see robertCTS's car) -- u may like

Where did BOB get that hood anyways?

Werent people getting their rear bezel changed at dealers for free under warranty or something? I thought i read that some where on here before... hummm lemme look

i had mine replaced for free under warranty...
the old one "leaked"... so they gave me a new one.

Yep, my dealer replaced mine under warranty because water would get into it.

:cheers:

If you're still under warranty, check out this string... If you're not under warranty, you might get a better deal on eBay than at the dealer...

Ah...never mind - I see you started the other string as well???

Get a silver one so you can send it to me. LOL. I got a black one already but never had the time to get it painted. Been out to sea to damn much.
