That looks pretty sweet. Where'd you get it? How hard was it to install?
-
That looks really awesome!
Is it a skin you put on the palmrest? -

from here CFWrap | Best Carbon Fiber Farbic Trim Wrap DIY in the World! , is kind of hard you have to remove the palmrest to do it properly -

That's pretty cool, Speedy
Any marks on the screen or is it thin? -
That looks really good. How long did it take to do?
-
Great work Speedy, it looks fantastic
.

Speedy you're #1!!! What a delicate work! What a finish! My sincere admiration. You have very, but real very, good hands. Did you take a video of the process? It can be a "hit"!
( Whish I could learn this 'trick'... my experience with rubber covers are not so good. We have here several Logitech mouses which have that rubber cover and loose it after a while) -
owowowwo that looks amazing : o
-
Awesome job! Dell should hire you into their design team oles!
Cheers. -
Great Job, Speedy! How does the skin feel to touch compared to the rubber finish?
-

the texture is real nice and is not sticky like the stock finish and the good thing is if you don't like it is reversible
-
Oh man. I believe this glossy back will perfectly combine with the back light LED make the system extremely gorgeous. Thanks for the creation.
P/s but do you think it would damage the palmrest rubber finish when we take it off? -
...and, could it 'help' Dellienware, providing excuses to avoid our warranty if we need it? ( some of us are very dependent of the full warranty)

Wish I could touch the surface to compare it to the rubber before I pay them 50$ for experiments. The stock palmrest surface feels pretty good to me and it's not even a rubber, you can't easily scratch it but the grease stains are easily cleaned with wipes, so I dunno... Are there any less textured (and maybe paintable?) vinyl wraps out there?

I'm leaning towards painting my case too. How difficult is it to get the shell separated from the rest of the laptop?
-
follow the online manual and it's fairly easy but takes time. Just be careful and no rush.
@Inap,
Awesome job, very sick

Does Dell sell the shell separate from the laptops? It might be nice to have several I can swap out every now and then.
