    Hey guys,

    one day when I looked at my Alien I thought that the shapes on the lid kinda look like the mouthpiece of a stormtrooper helmet. So I got me some black + white vinyl wraps and started this little project. Well, here is the result of my work so far:

    A big challenge right now is the display. As you can see, it is not wrapped yet. Im trying to figure out how to apply it without covering the Alienware logo. I would be glad about some suggestions/advices.

    Or maybe I will leave it like that if its too time-consuming.

    Waoh, it looks amazing and great catch with the storm trooper idea. Personally, I'd keep it that way.

    Looks great! Nicely done mate IMO I prefer leaving the screen bezel as it is, looks better.
