Simple CB question EDITED
I'm tired of looking at the same old face of the cobra 29. Anyone know if there's a website that has different face plates to put on CB's?
New question is, I'm looking on ebay and see these cb's with different color meters and channel displays. Is this something that can be done at a normal cb shop, and do they normally have the different colors on hand? I want blue!! :rock:

Ok, can anyone confirm if the channel display can be changed or not?

That's going to require someone who likes a challenge. The display will have to be the same voltage and pin outs to match the existing one. I doubt if any CB shop is going to want to invest the time and research to replace it.
Your best bet would be to find a computer EE person to tackle the job.

Steve, check this out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll....cWAT.m240.lVI
It looks like it would just be a simple switch in & out, but anyone would know more than I do. I'm horrible with electronic stuff. If it really is that tough though, I may just sell mine, and buy the ones they have on ebay with them blue LED's already in them.
