Hey - not a bad idea if you want to avoid the discoloration issues plaguing the white Macbooks now...

I'm glad to find another soul who believes that Pimp My Ride show on MTV is crap.

That is really all they do, is take a piece of junk, put some frivolous frippery inside, give it a thumpin' stereo and a paintjob, thereby making it a loud, pretty piece of junk. And I'm supposed to be impressed? And the ridiculously staged "reaction" shots of the kids. Puh-leez...

I prefer Overhaulin' for true vehicle restoration.

I've actually seen this done to an iPod, and I believe it was the same company doing it at that time.

However...You can save about $200 or more by simply taking your MacBook case to an auto body shop and get a choice enamel paint job. They're usually happy to take on the new business concept and shoot you a really good price. Of course, you have to remove the guts from the Mac and then re-install them. But, if you're a serious modder, something like that is already routine business to you.
