Default Decorative box extentions

Hi:

I want to put some GFCIs in place of regular duplex outlets. Because the
GFCI is about twice the thickness and somewhat wider then the outlet it
replaces, I know from past experience it will be a PITA to get the new
outlet and the wires back into place.

Extension "rings" will do the job but they look like sh*t.

Does "someone" make an extension ring that tapers out that I could paint to
match the wall but would give me 1/2 to 3/4" more wiring room?

Thanks


The Wiremold "starter" or extension boxes are useful
for this app.

I believe they make a plastic one as well as
the traditional steel.
