I replaced the aluminium MacBook Air bezel with a MacBook unibody glass lens cover.

See pictures!

one of the main reasons i bought a MBA rev B was because of the screen not being glossy / glass
 
I can completely see the Air looking like that in the future. Uniformity across the line. That's a mighty impressive mod.

Personally, I think it would be more impressive putting the Air bezel on a MB.

I'm also curious as to the weight. The Air's hinge is reported to have issues on some units and adding the extra display weight I'm sure won't help.
 
I Like it, and im loving that keyboard!

Also, whats wrong with the Enter Key? its a fullsize european version, the best kind.
 
I like it. Looks better than OEM

What now with your MBA bezel?

You should consider to sell it to a UMB owner as they might like that look.
 
There is no way that Apple would do this since it is so UGLY!
:eek: :eek: :eek:

Did I say UGLY? However, Nice work that you did if you like it! :rolleyes:
 
I think it's much better than with the grey bezel. I was actually a bit disappointed seeing MBA and MB face to face, because the black bezel looks much better to me.
 
When it comes to modding I don't think "why" really matters. Awesome job. I'd kind of like to see a black pinstripe around the top of the palmrest...perhaps a TRON logo somewhere?

Nice mod!
 
Nice mod, I can't say its not my taste because I have a unibody MBP and love the bezel look ;)
