    Hey all!

    Just saw these pictures of this custom Macbook air, and i just wanted to know your thoughts about this mod. Do you like it more than the original, my only problem with this is that the bottom of the bezel says "Macbook" not macbook air.

    I MUCH prefer the black bezel over the aluminum one on the Air.

    That makes me think of those mods of changing the color of the keys on different models... like a white Macbook with black keys or an Air with white keys.

    I think that looks pretty bad... the Air is quite beautiful without all that black.

    I'm actually more curious with the backlit Wireless Apple Keyboard with Black keys......

    Hey ... this is not only cool looking, but solves a different problem that I have after fixing one of my screen hinges - a bent-up, unusable aluminum bezel. I've just ordered a glass macbook bezel from mac-pro.com .. do I need to modify it in any way or does it just fit in the space that the aluminum one once fit into?
