ok the point of your reply was ???????????
@OP: awesome mod you have done - i would love to do this in black and red.. but with red replacing the yellow... may add a ferrari logo on it too
Hahaha, good idea.
I might actually try and find a ferrari logo now.
Looks good. Do you apply this with water like those clear films? Is the Apple Logo sticker transparent so you can see the LED backlit when it's dark?
Does anyone know where you can purchase a glossy carbon fiber skin that look like a real carbon fiber weave?
These look good too, but I don't like the corners.

Yes, the apple logo glows yellow and red and it's actually really bright.
Glossy carbon fiber? I don't think there is a glossy carbon fiber.
The corners are there so you can peel them off without damaging your laptop.
And no, I didn't do this with water, I just stick it on.
Yeah, I checked out the ones on easy and aside from being a lot more expensive than the ones you got, they don't ship to my country
. Do you have another source for the side wraps?Yeah, I checked out the ones on easy and aside from being a lot more expensive than the ones you got, they don't ship to my country
What country are you from?
Ive been looking for the stuff to do this in the UK and it all seems to either ship from USA or Hong Kong which means a really long wait and it could be in crappy condition when it arrives.
I think im just going down the, speck satin case and the black cover you can put over where your wrists are that you can get on amazon, route.

I thought so too, but I gave it a go.
It was in mint condition and was heavily wrapped so the stickers wouldn't get bent. Plus, the sellers were extremely nice saying that if it doesn't arrive in a month, you'll get a free refund and they'll ship another item for you for free or if you screw up while putting this on or it gets damaged, they'll ship it to you for free. It's worth the wait, but you can always pay extra for shipping, which can cost pricey though.
Other words, I had a very good experience with them.
Scratch that, they do ship to where I live, but the template is totally wrong. Still need another source if you have one.
Anyone ordered these skins from The Lucky Labs? They look really good.

LuckyLabs is pretty good. I saw some youtube videos advertising it.
Even though it's $48, better than $80 for Phantom Skinz, it's worth the shot. (Note: It doesn't include the inside keyboard sticker skin)
But I paid like $25 for my Carbon Fiber just to be cheap for a "complete" full body skin including the keyboard even the edges has opening/longer shipper.
Yeah I'd probably just go clear on the inside with a phantom skinz or invisible shield.
What brands and where did you get all the products?
Would this work with a 15 inch? Most of the palmrest stickers I see don't extend past the speaker.

Just wondering, would you guys be interested if I just write blog/website on where to find all these items that you guys are wondering?
Looks, cool. I wouldn't have gone that far with my mbp, but you can't complain with results and it is definitely unique!
I got one of these stickers for my 15". It's a bit more subtle, but still awesome none the less.

My MacBook is keyless start too
But in all seriousness, keyless start is awesome; not having to take the fob out of my pocket allows me to be even lazier than before, which is a main feature I look for in a new car.
Nice! I got the speck case, moshi pad, and keyboard cover. Customised the case a little. That way I can just take it off if I want.
What I like best about yours is that I would not want to do that to mine but I can look at yours and still appreciate how good of a job you did.
