    A friend of mine bought a Dell XPS m1210 and did this to it! I think he did a better job than Acer.

    Wow, that is an awesome job! Mind telling us a little bit about what he used and how he did it. Thanks for the pics, that is one of the best looking custom things I have seen someone do on their own.

    Wow...that's some serious brand allegiance. Great work, though.

    He only used stickers. The ferrari stickers are original stickers.

    Thats excellent! That rectifies the only problem I had with the XPS M1210, the Dell badges it has, and it adds the Ferrari package from the overpriced, but really really cool Acer Ferraris....Hes done a really good job with it as well...

    Nope sorry, I quickly snapped these from my Nokia mobile. It's a 2 MP camera.
