Heres the housing I got from rrocket at nextelmodz. I had intended on a full housing change but had some trouble with the way the keypad halves fit together, so I put everything back into the black oem rear. Im keeping the original nuckle, mostly so the other black piece doesnt look too ghetto lol. I dont have a T4 right now but Ill be putting the red keypad on also. Heres what I got so far. :sorcerer:

very nice. I like the way those look and they still have that oem sturdiness.

Thx. Yeah I really like the way it looks so far. I cant wait to get the keypad on, it looks pretty cool with the blue numbers and leds showing through the red. I had it done last night with the AM keypad housing but there was a small gap on one side I couldnt get it to fit together correctly. Super glue crossed my mind for a second but decided that probably wasnt a good idea. Ill try to get some better pics once its done.

And before I forget, I definately want to give a big thx to Pumbaa. His video really helped a lot :)

The AM halves didnt fit correctly. If I use the black rear with the red top it fit perfectly. I just need a T4 and Ill have it on.

I had a small gap between them under the PTT button. Nothing was in the way and I had all the screws tight but it was still a gap. Probably not too noticable but I knew it was there and didnt like it. Probably just a bad mold or something.

Im keeping the original knuckle, so I shouldnt have any problems. :thumbsup:

Its one of the better housings but I noticed Pumbaas Rocawear knuckle blowed out. I dont want to take that chance.
