    I feel sorry to say that I actually don't like it at all. Everything is just so loud and shouting I am here!

    Still respect that you did it, I could never do it.

    im sorry to say this but i agree with notebook solutions...it seems quite "over patched". but ill give you points for the effort though, for i cant do it myself possibly.

    I'd say it looks a lot better in the ebay pictures then the full sized pictures. Not something i'd be perticularly interested in but someone else might be.

    IMO, vinyl applications need perfect lines and smoothness to ever look good. And that's all I can orf should comment on, as the theme is completely a matter of personal taste.

    Not my taste. I'm sure there are avid fans, but it looks a little like a hack job to me, seams, etc. I think the execution let the design down, more than anything.

    A for effort but if you are going to do something like this it needs to be perfect. I agree with prior posters that the theme doesn't flow well together and it's a little loud. The exacto cut-out shows the shakes when cutting out. But the only important think is... Do YOU like it?
