    I've always been tempted to paint my M15x a different color, but I just don't have the time to dismantle and reassemble plus be without my laptop. I've seen some people on here with these vinyl skins which are either black leather or black carbon fiber. Didn't like the carbon and saw no point in a black leather since my M15x is already black. I stumbled upon a red leather skin on ebay about $20 shipped. Pulled the trigger and applied it. It was a bit tricky lining it up evenly and making sure no air bubbles show up. Excellent look and feel for a fraction of the cost!!

    I like it, might have to invest in one myself! Grey is getting a bit boring.

    I actually hated the red, but the more pics i saw of the 17x/18x in red i knew i had to make mine red.

    If only it didn't have that texture and was glossy, I would have gotten it. Looks good though.
