    How possible would it be to swap the white lid cover of the G51 with a black one of a G50? How would this be done?

    I'd like to know this as well, though I'd actually like to switch the black lid from my G51VX-X1A for the White lid of the RX05.

    Is the lid for the G51VX-X1A completely black? No designs on it?

    Asus' marketplace had an all black lid. If I'm not mistaken, it was actually matte black. I think it was ~$70
