How did you deal with the plastic trim around the edge of the top case?

I used a dye on the trim so it wouldn't flake off like paint.

I've got a local chromer that delivers to the shop if you want to bring parts by or the entire thing.  Just shoot me a message. 

Looks like I might be offering these online through a local Apple reseller so that's cool.

I probably shouldn't say anything till it's up and going. :-)

Thanks for the invite, I never seem to make it to NE anymore, closest I get is downtown to see the jeweler and back.
