Default **CarbonFiber TouchPad**

I just go my Touchpad from the post office and the the first thing i notice are the scratches on the back and that its a huge finger print magnet. (2 days of use my a**). So i use my CF vinyl from ebay to wrap it and make it look fAcking sexy!

I did it to my HD2 also and it came out pretty fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...63&postcount=1

The Touchpad is in the attachments.
As you can see, its not totally perfect around the edges

The only problem is finding out how to cut a hole for the ambient light sensor.

Thanks for watching!!

looks good to me, skinomi sell a pre cut carbon skin for touch pad, but looks like you've done a decent job cutting it yourself.

My Touchpad looks the same and I used a precut carbon fiber piece. I feels amazing and I love it. I like your job on it and looks really good

You didn't cover up the ambient light sensor. Its located on the face, about 1/2 in from the upper right corner of the LCD by the volume keys.

Ok thanks. From all the pictures Ive been looking at, i thought that it was in the corner of the body around that location. You just saved me from hacking up my work.
