if that got scratched, i would be like seeing another guy get kicked in the sack, it wouldnt hurt you but you would feel his pain.
Looks great though, cant wait to see more pics as the install progresses.

haha what a great metaphor... i plan on buying a few blankets and such to prevent any scratches and stuff, that has to stay mint throughout the rest of the install... talk about a pita
