    My wife wanted to know if I would custom paint her CF-18 metallic pink.... I just stared at her for a second, shook my head and then walked away..... I think she got it....

    I like the purple. But then again, in another post I joked about a psychedelic paint job on my 29. I have since spent all afternoon pondering how I will do it.
    I figure it's just a matter of time now.

    I kinda like the blue on those Maximum eBay ones. One day I will take the dive. How hard is it to swap out the outside covers for touch screen models?

    Seen that and ... even the wheels were pink. :eek: Reason I asked if the top of the lid can come off is to have a backup if I don't like how it turned out.
