Dear,

I'm preparing to buy the Gigabyte gtx 970 g1 gaming and i was thinking to replace the windforce front metal cover to paint it white so it matches my build. I'm looking for a replacement so i won't have any problem with the warranty. Does anyone knows where i can find one ? I tried eBay and Amazon but didn't find anything. Please note that i'm not thinking of buying an other VGA like Galax HoF, etc so please don't suggest me other video cards.

Thanks.
