Wow this looks great! Can't wait for the result! I don't think I'd have the guts to do that with my Mac. I'd probably send it off to colorware.

Loving the keyboard, but does the disparity in color saturation of the keys bug you? Its the only thing that would keep me from doing it to my old Macbook...

 

[Fabreze]

This is amazing!

 

[tmelvin]

Looks like a F@%ked up Pumpkin...

When I was young I had too much orange liquor, and puked. It looked a lot like that, minus the scratches...

It looks amazing considering that he used supplies that you can pick up at Wal-mart.

Actually I think it adds a bit more character to it, and makes it look even better!

The keys look badass, I think you may have an idea for a business!

Yeah I'm actualy selling the orange plastics in the marketplace, I also have a complete ibook g4 1.33 plastics dyed black along with the keys from a titanium powerbook. Looks like a square blackbook

LOL @ OrangeiBookguy! that's great man.

Really love the orange keys on the MB. I was wondering what you were gonna do with the top case

One last peek at the insides before I put in the display...

to MacHappytjg: They can be any color you want, just pick a different color dye. My favorite color is somewhere between the red-yellow spectrum, so the color of it now makes me happy!

 

[echosmyron]

looks incredible so far!

The color combination of the orange and white on the keys and handrest look great. Because of those, I'd suggest leaving the Apple logo as it is instead of black.

Display assembly worked out perfectly, here it is. I'm starting on the bottomcase now.

 

[SchneiderMan]

I'm loving the outcome of this.

I finally got the frame into the lower case. From here on in its familiar territory.

Awesome... I might be getting a MacBook Pro soon.

Looks awesome. I just recently joined the MacRumors Forums.

[Fontenette Yo!]

[archi17]

This looks FANTASTIC!!

Just one question. Do your hands get slightly orange from touching this? Like rubbing your hands over the outside?
