Just so you all know, I did not make the skin. Someone from mp3car.com makes them for all makes and models of cars. heres the link. http://www.my105e.com/febsperanza/

He skins quite a few front ends, and they all look amazing!

well, I would do it, but I would feel guilty doing it. The information on all of this stuff is readily available all over the internet, and I would really just be building you a computer and putting together the nessassary components for some cash in return. If that is what you want I can definatly do that. We would have to discuss what you would want the pc to do etc. Just let me know if you want to do it on your own and i can tell you some things to help get you started.

my only complaint is that side by side comparisons between xenarc and lilliput show the xenarc with a less clear (more yellowed) image to it. Maybe its just the camera, but i love clear and crisp colored images. Might drive me crazy if its yellowed.

i know which comarison you're talking about... you have to realize thats an old xenarc (2 yrs old). They changed the illumination since then. research some more and you'll find stuff .. plus u can see from my pics its not yellow at all ... here's a nite pic ...
