Is your computer running better and faster after this pain job?
I suspect if you paint it all yellow or green will beat any other machine on running the Geekbench test

Umm... I know it doesn't run faster. If you add a spoiler to the car, would it make it run faster? No.
You do it for the style and looks. If every single car were the same or every single laptop were the same, the world would just be boring.

black and yellow. you must be from philly.

i dont like the color but the idea is awesome! im just going for the easy way and buying a speck satin case, all black. a leather palm pad, and a moshi clear keyboard protector.

you can view them here: (its a wishlist until next month when i make my MBP purchase.

not as cool as painting it or whatever you did. it looks like a cover but is it?

Actually, I'm Chinese. The only reason why I did it black and yellow cause my friends (girls... they always win somehow...) somehow persuaded me to pick a Pikachu (Pokemon) color and to put a Pikachu on the front later on.
From a distance, you think my MBP has been painted, but close up, you'll actually see it's stickers. But it's Carbon Fiber sticker, it's not as great as leather, but the feel is still good. And looking at what you're going to buy, it looks like you're buying a lot of stuff and expensive stuff too. This only costed me $42. I'm more like the DIY guy and find the cheapest way possible, if it works, it works.

Wow, that looks surprisingly nice!

Does the backlit keyboard and logo on the back of the screen still work properly through the silicon/sticker?

The back of the Apple Logo shows really great and it lights up with Yellow and Red. (Look on that multipicture and look at the last bottom picture, you'll see that it's see through, it even works great during daylight.) But the backlight keyboard, it doesn't show as great, I take off the silicon keyboard when I type in the dark, otherwise, I leave it on when it's daytime to keep it clean. The silicon keyboard is easily bendable, so I can just put it straight in my pocket all cramp up and it'll look fine when I put it back on the keyboard.
 
Can i try this and remove everything without scratches/sticky stuff on my mbp.

ugh. :\

it looks alright, probably could of used better colors than a bumble bee.
 
AGAIN GUYS,
The color is temporary, I can always switch it up when I get bored of the color.
I got Lime Green/Neon and Red to switch out if I get bored.

Where did you get the yellow side wraps from? Been trying to find these all over eBay to no avail.
 
I likethe carbon fiber but this looks god awful. I think a spoiler is a good comparison.
 
OP: do they have non carbon fiber black stickers and red wrap?

I might be interested in doing a Black and red one with a red apple on the back and red sides. However, I am thinking about leaving the keyboard alone.
Thanks!

I believe so.
Go to MacStyles.com

Carbon Fiber is much nicer though cause it's almost scratch proof.
I'm thinking of using my yellow for a month or two then switch over to red and black.

sweet can you still see the light thru the keyboard stickers?
Click to expand...

It's not a sticker, it's a silicon keyboard and yes you can see through them, only when it's in pitch darkness. But they're not that great, I only use it during the day but I take them off when I'm in the dark.
 
This is awesome mate! Thanks for the inspiration, I will try something similar when i get paid, maybe not as elaborate as yours though! The carbon fiber sticker is awesome!
