All the RED would definitely have to go. Take your end caps and your front panel and do like a MARBLE EFFECT on it with the green, But still keep them mostly black Though, and like you said do all Lettering green and the green LED's. If you really wanted to get crazy with it you could put some GREEN LED's right under the vents with some alluminum foil placed under the LED's giving a GLOW like effect, the trick would be to keep the LED's under the vents out of sight. The piece where your card slot is, paint it black or green. If you wanted to you could give the housing around the screen the MARBLE LOOK also (Me personally I think it would be overkill). And last but not least, right beside the AKAI Professional logo it should read "Inspired by That-1-DJ" that would make your MPC PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(LOL)

If I think of anything else I will let you know. Keep at it

Changing the endcaps would be nice...
I like that idea.

Everything else is good ideas but overkill for me. I want my MPC looking custom but not to much. I like the plain look.

Thanks.

While designing your styleflip you should make it to where it appears that all of the pads are lying on a BIG GREEN "X" for Explicit of course, I would'nt do a solid "X" but just a nice BOLD OUTLINE of the letter "X", also under the pad's of course put your name in the outline style, or the marble style, I would not do it solid.

"I know you do not want to here this" But I think that if you sent FORAT mine and your ideas "He would murder your MPC". It would be sooooooooooo dope, NATIONAL SECURITY would have to bring it to your house.(LOL) :lol:

I agree Forats simple work is nice yet its still way over priced. His artwork on MPC's is terrible...

Here is a skin that I made for my boy JAYZO. He let me borrow his 2500 so I could create a template and this was the first skin I came up with. Yea it looks stock but its clean. PM me if any of you are interested. No one can match this quality.
