LFMP: Little Fugly Monkey Puncher

I like to call this the Linux Fanboy Mod Project. Like I wrote before, I’m not going to upgrade my two year-old laptop until 9 months (at least). The lid is now full of battle scars and the paint on the part where the wrist rests is either fading or getting dirty (by libag). Even the AMD badges are starting to turn yellowish.

Right now, it looks like this.
Before (Now)

I want to repaint it. I’m not sure what color yet. I guess any color will do as long as it’s not cheesy. Or maybe I could just strip all the paint off and get that brushed steel look (just on the lid). I also want to put a[n] LED-backlit Tux on the lid like on the Apple notebooks.
After (Hopefully)

If there’s still space, I want to make use of my LPT and place a 20×4 LCD panel and display cool shit on the lid. Dennis offered to help. I’m thinking of having this done professionally though (is there such service?).

Any other ideas?
