Alright guys. I am going to be upgrading / updating a current build soon, and I've got a few things I want to do to my case.
For reference throughout this, my case is an NZXT Switch 810.
First off, I want to extend the PSU bay. The PSU I want to upgrade too is too long. It would hit the radiator that I plan to install. So, I need to mount the rad somewhere else, or move the PSU. Well, there is no other spot for the rad, so the PSU will have to move. The solution I found is to get one of those Lian Li PSU extensions, and mod it onto my case.

I just want to make sure that will work. However, I'm pretty sure it will. So let me move on to my more questionable ideas.
My next plan is to make a beauty / cover plate for the bottom area. So it would completely cover the PSU, the PSU cables, and the bottom mounted rad. I would also be mounting / sticking 2 ssd's on it. My first question is: what material would you use to make this? It needs to be something that is relatively strong, but at the same time, still bendable with a basic bending break.
The second question is: where would you go to get the piece vynl wrapped? I want it in some black & red carbon fiber, but I don't know who does that. I mean in general, not specific names of places... Like, do auto body shops do that?
