Pete, did mines. It was pure JIMP (j14zzz in my pants). Quality was excellent, it looked just like the OEM but bit better. Will get my new one dne from him. :twisted:

I have access to an area at work that is a constant 45'C = nice tight wrinkles if you put enough paint on the cover. :D

Heavy?
Any flash periods?
