Hey folks, I will be doing a 360 mod over of the coming weeks. Originally it was going to be white, but instead I decided to a matte macbook mod.
I will be starting from a 360 premium.
Current plans:
Internalize HDD
Sound-proofing
Better fan
White LEDs (ROL already done, see my avatar)
Matte Black paint job
Now, for the Apple logos. At my job we have some G4s (Quicksilver, Blue, etc). I decided to remove the Apple gems from the sides. I have a ton of them... sooo... I am going to use those for Apple logos. So far the silver ones seem better as the Blue ones appear to be acutally blue plastic. Need to sand them a bit to know for sure as my current method isn't working on those.
I haven't decided exactly how I am goign to get them on, there will be a hole cut. And it will be lighted with white
I am playing around with one right now, I cleared it and am going to polish and play with ways to frost it for a nice look.
I will be documenting and taking pictures so others can do it. Hit me with suggestions too, I will try them out for if I can.
Current Pictures:
Apple Jewels!!!

Cleared Jewel (testing methods, all I have done is removed adhesive and used a brillo type pad to remove paint)
