Default Carbon fiber contact + Nzxt tempest

Hey guys i was cruising around in a local auto shop and came across some Carbon Fiber look contact and thought it would look nice in my case to cover up some of the ugly grey metal. i also picked up a HUGE pack of zip ties <3

So got it home and had a little play and this is what i got.

I know its not perfect but its all i could be bothered doing for now.
























I have heaps left so any one got any ideas please let me know

Thanks for looking

Seems less costly and time consuming than painting the interior, and an original idea. Good thinking

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.

Finish working out the bubbles. The only reason I can see it is the glare!

Nice job though!

The best way to apply contact paper is to first apply a film of soapy water with a damp rag. This allows repositioning and bubble removal.
