    Can you guys that have modded your bottom panels please post some pics or steps/techniques that you have done? I have some ideas for mine, but want it to look classy and not all hacked.

    Thanks!

    p.s. I have the G60JX

    I will post the pic of mine once i get home.

    FIY there is one drawback of doing this mod. The wrist pad get warm and sometimes (depends on the load) it can get uncomfortably warm (not that it would fry your hand) but the temp of it get pretty high.
    But as for the temperature benefit... there is no discussion about that.

    lawl.


    I've since changed the fake grill. It's almost identical to what Kondor did to his machine, with a real grill replacing it. I surprisingly don't have an updated photo of my bottom plate. I'll rectify that one of these days.
