Yes it does stick well, but like VeNoMiZA said, it is a pain in the ass to get it on. and Arono I got the chrome one it looks nice. and just so your all warned, the instrucions for putting it on aren't all hat great. but at least there are some.

The best way to put it on................Tape your vent holes than "Carefully" so it doesn't leak inside your xbox apply a sparing amount of a soapy water solution on the surface you wish to apply the label to. Than attach the label. The soapy water will allow the label to slip on the surafce allowing for perfect adjustment. Than simply using a soft straight edged object ( I used a rubber spatula ) Squeegee out the excess water and you will have a perfect placed label. This is not a jerk remark to ruin your Xbox I use this technique at work all the time to apply labels to electronics becuase we use alotta expensive foil label types that are unforgiving when you put them on.

I got my chrome one today. It was in crummy packaging. It was in a big envelope that said "Do not fold" but it was folded anyway. Luckily it wasnt folded too badly and I can't complain since it was free. But besides that I got mine on and it looks awesome. Looks like a special edition xbox or something!

Thanks XboxAddict.com and Xbox-Skins.com!

Hey Squid.... I just noticed that your name is almost the exact same as mine... I mean how the 413 is like PIE... just a weird observation.... especially since it was unintentional... what does the numbers mean on your name?

I got mine on the 27th. The only problem i had was putting the big X on top, it's still a little bit off center.

Hey! I've been gone for about a week.... My ISP that my business used got their access pulled without telling us, so we've been scrambling to get access from someone else. Been a real pain. My sig is on one of my servers, so when it comes back up, so will my sig.

When the Xbox-Live beta test ended, I had to switch gears a little. I'm also a tester for America's Army: Operations for the PC, so I've been spending some quality time with that.

But have no fear, I've still been playing my beloved Xbox. As a present I recieved UC, and I rented Ghost Recon and Mechassault last week. Pretty positive I'll be getting Splinter Cell from my wife for Christmas.

Good to see you, Kraft. It's nice to see they made you a mod. Good for you. Take care!

well i did end up recieving mine.
too bad it was all wrinkled to.
i've worked with vinyl to some extent before..
i had probs getting the 1st controller port sticker off, i was very careful and the extremely thing piece ripped..so after that i said F' it.
i aint even gonna bother trying to put the rest on.
to bad they stopped the customizable skins...i was thinking about how cool some of em could be.

No muva-muffin doubt Veno, I got my joint yesterday (seem like just about everyone did, eh?) and I was struggling with da "X" sticker part. I swear, I was about to throw it in da trash for a sec,. but then I thought to myself,.." would my nephew Jeremy cry like a baby if I did? " So I was like, aight... I gotta get dis to work for my lil' nephew Jeremy-XBA!
So it's on there, lookin pimp tight and all!:cool: I got da Gun Metal joint where you can see through it like glass!
I got da controller ports on with ease. But im happy with it,.. I guess!

Thanks XBA, you have done your Role Model proud!:)

actually, the X was the easiest part for me... because it was the only piece that actually fits perfectly in the section it was made for. I trimmed out half of the x with a razor, centered it perfectly, then slowly peeled the backing off while working out the air bubbles and wrinkles.

The sqare pieces, on the other hand were a pain. Not only are they smaller than the squares they sit in, but you cant line up the holes without cutting out the wax paper where the holes are, which I ended up doing.

All I can say is, while I do like my skin a lot, they must have taken the demo photo in direct sunlight, because it is a lot darker than I thought it would be. Also, are there any sites out there that do custom skins? Because I still have my template and would be willing to pay for it.

Damn Kraft Cheese, you went through all dat? Pssfft, I aint even take a second look at da instructions.:rolleyes:

Maybe dats why I had a hard time with dat damn "X" sticker!

I will tell you this, I looks as if my Xbox has new life to it or something. As if it was reborn or something. I know might sound wierd, but they again, im a weird guy! j/k!:D
But foe wheel, I looks like a whole new Xbox,... I wonder if it can do tricks now!:eek:

I used the soapy water method to put my decals on. Looks sweet too!!! I got the Gun Metal color and it added a whole new dimension to my Xbox.

As for doing tricks, for now my Box only does one really good. I say sit and stay and it doesnt move. Havent got it to roll over yet, but I am kind of afraid of teaching it that one. Couldnt be good on the ole xbox insides.
