    Anyone got one in true color? I'm thinking of doing a purple or orange one, or maybe it will look silly and I should just do carbon fibre.

    I bought "Matt Black" for my XPS 9560. I'tll arrive on the 9th, so I'll post some pics as soon as I've applied it :)

    Book at least a 4 hour time block to do one of these ****ing things. if you're even the slightest bit a perfectionist it will drive you insane. Don't pull it tightly either, or it will never fit properly. I think some of them just aren't measured right- you line up the logo and nothing else fits lol

    Agree with Eason.

    I got black carbon fiber, blue carbon logo and track pad. being a perfectionist it took me forever to install mine, finally got the edges lined up and pulled the backing off and there was a tiny bit of silver showing around the side of the logo.... so off it came again and reapplied. It's still not perfect but Im happy with it now.

    Honestly probably not the fault of dbrand, its always going to be super hard to apply a sticker like this. That being said, the cutout seemed to be pretty close, not mm perfect but close enough for me to be happy with it. And the vinyl itself feels really quality.

    The trackpad sticker actually works fine! I was a bit skeptical about it but the trackpad works just as it did without the sticker so I am very happy about that.

    I really like the carbon fiber, but Im a race car nut so I just love CF in general. I didn't want anything too bright so the true colours were out for me.

    Don't have any pictures on me, can probably get some when I get home.
