    I like the look of that, is that a kit of some sort? I've seen similar things for Macs but never thought to see if there was anything out there for Sager/Clevo. Well done! :thumbsup:

    You can buy the vinyl from companies such as 3M or car wrapping stores, but it's the application of the wrap that's tough as it has to be custom heat shrunk to the machine, at least the way that we do it. I don't know if this was done any differently.

    Works the same before, just slicker with a bit texture. Feels better to have the rubber covered, was a 3 piece kit of eBay. Just align and slap on.

    I'm just picturing a person covering their machine in aluminum foil and finding it hillarious.
