I wonder what "Cosmetic cover kit, MacBook Air (076-1284)" is:I would love to, except there is none on sale. If you can find one, tell me! I already ordered a macbook black's bezel, so I'll be sanding the corners down to make sure it fits.
You're my hero LOL. This is being done for great justice. *says indescernable chants*
Haha can't wait to see if you're successful or not!!!
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this project turns out. Props for having the balls!

when does the new screen come?
Nope not really. It's a custom cable. It runs from the isight module, to the isight camera and then to the bluetooth module. See attached picture. Bluetooth module is the one on the left. Oh well, it no biggie. I don't use bluetooth, and if I ever do, I can always get one of the nano sized bluetooth adapters.Is the bluetooth data cable a strip connector or does it use wires? I'm sure it could be repaired or replaced.
In response to the OP, if that v.0 thing is true, it looks like a pop-in replacement to get a matte MBA. Cool.
little update:
they sent me the wrong panel :-( So it's going back and getting replaced
The black bezel came, but even some cutting and sanding, in the end, the isight hole doesn't match up well. So I made a template of the glass in illustrator and started to look for laser cutting companies online.
Does any one have recommendations on laser cut companies? One that cuts aluminum and also offers anodizing service would be the preference.

cryonic49, I'm just curious as to how strong the aluminium lid is without the "glass"? It's just that the reason Apple insists on having that "glass" is probably just to reinforce the lid. Would you mind *gently* checking it out for us? Cheers.
