    Personally I prefer matte versus glossy, but that's coming from a Thinkpad owner ;)

    Cool modification though - how'd you do it?

    I'm also interested in how you did it. Hopefully it wasn't too dangerous of a procedure.

    My original lid was glossy originally. Putting a custom 'leather' skin cured my fingerprint and scratch problem.

    I guess the grass is always greener on the other side!
