It's not the best picture I've got, but I'm a bit lazy today:

viewtopic.php?t=4103&start=0

It looks even better with normal lighting conditions, the flash when I took the picture sort of ruins the colors a bit.

It looks dope though and was well worth the 90 bucks I've paid. A style flip for an SP-555 is cheaper though, shipping included it should come down to about 60 US $.

Yo, that looks ill Phemox. I think a lot of people would buy a styleflip for their sp-404 that makes it have the 303 apperance.

i don't know how i feel about this whole styleflip thing...on one hand i like the idea of customizing and personalizing your gear. It's just that all the style flips that i've seen have been mad busy and clash with the design of the machines that they are flipping. some of those things i think would give me a headache looking at and trying to navigate for long periods of time...that being said i think there could be some dope stuff if it was just toned down and approached with an appropriate design sensibility.

Yeah, you are right. The color scheme I chose looks good, but isn't the best when it comes to navigating the machine. But I have to say I already know my way around the MV blindfolded anyways.

I might go for a new styleflip someday though as it does look a bit busy and I didn't go with a personal logo or text on it.
