Inspired by a mod done on logitech g15 found on web. brows.gif Using carbon fibre thumbup.gif vinyl stickers to wrap the keyboard.

Carbon fibre vinyl stickers are commonly available at car accessories shop. Can get a big roll for like RM10~Rm11. Still have more than half left from this "mod".

If any1 of u r interested to do this, i would recommend getting:
-sharp, pointy, long tipped cutter/blade (can be really helpful when cutting around corners & "longkangs"
-adhesive/super glue (the stickers have a certain thickness that makes it intolerable to places involving folding)
-some coke plus really cool music & we're good to go.

Spent about 4~5 hours to complete because watching TV. tongue.gif

Guys, feel free to comment but try to be gentle on me. 1st time mod.

Bro ur carbon fibre sticker is the low grade ones, you can opt for better ones very realistic look-a-like sticker even at our garage sales here.

My X6 is Red Alert 3 version, i tore off all the stickers now black might try what you did here.

Good job nonetheless smile.gif
