Are you happy with the outcome Dae?

Very. If i may say so myself, i think it looks very very good. I'd actually go so far as to say that it looks as if it was bought like this. My only gripe is the front panel, but i'll elaborate when i show pics.

Keep your eyes open guys

Final pics!!

Just let me drop some info first, as i haven't done this yet.

I replaced the stock fan shroud, rear fans, and DVD ROM cover with replacements i imported from China. I also installed some cool LEDs in the bottom.

I also removed the memory card and IR receiver holes on the front of the console to give it a cleaner look.

The console was then painted professionally to give us THIS!!!





















A nice clear shot of the awesome paintjob:







And the DVD ROM window:







The controller:











And of course, some shots of the lighting:





















Let me know what you guys think!

OMW!!!! THAT'S AWESOME DAE!

That paint looks SO good! As always, very impressive mod!

Excellent dude. Looks fantastic!

But with your colour scheme I can't go blue with my mod now

Really inspiring.

Holy smokes!!! Dae!! That looks awesome man

It really does look like you bought it like that. The paint job is stunning.

What color is that? Metallic grey? Or Gunmetal?

Very well done - as usual.

Very Impressive Ett,

I want the GTA IV in the DVD-ROM!!

Looks brilliant ett!! whats the chance of you making me one like that?? If I paid you ofcourse!

Maybe I'll borrow you my copy ... in 2020 ...

Don't be lazy, I'll be doing my own mod with the assistance of Ett once I have all the accessories I need. And closer to the 1 yr warranty expiring, which is only in December.

As far as i can remember, it's some thing like "Metallic Granite" or something along those lines. I fell in love with it the very moment i saw it

I've told you guys a million times, i'll do mods for whoever wants

You will be recieving my XBOX as soon as I have the cash (Which should be pretty soon. How much did this mod cost you?

Yo Dae, congrats on the mod, awesomeness as usual.

Is there a reason why you didnt make the perspex side panel flush with the plastic like you did on the HDD?

Love your work as always dude!

It cost ME about 700 bucks altogether.

Yeah. The side panel of the 360 has a pretty nice curve on it, and i didn't want to start fiddling with flush mount as the plexi would almost certainly pop out eventually

So if I give you R1000 you will make me 1 too??

Nice work as always DJV. You should open up a modding business!

Like I said when you showed me the mod, it does look great. I'm glad you got the black button sorted.

Nice work man

Sweeeeeeeet man , totaly sweeeeeeeet
Makes the colour of my Elite looks dull
