700d door mod

P3N9U1N · 5 Aug 2011 at 19:19

Hi all,

Not sure if this thread is in the right category but anyways, today I cut a square hole in the door of my corsair obsidian 700d, cos I didnt like the windowed door they supply, and i'm making te window colour blue.

Just wondering if there's anything I can put around the hole to tidy up the jigsawed edges, like a strip to cover it or something.

thanks in advance

Just a rubber window moulding will do.

Looks a really nice job you've done there.. Thinking about doing the same to mine.

Edge Trims and Seals area has a few there that would be good or the automotive area too, just have a look mate they have pictures and sizes, also many different colours not just black if you decide you dont want the seal in black.

Your problem is going to be getting a nice bend in the trim round the corners given that you cut them right angled. It will have to be very flexible and not liable to pinch/bulge for tight bends for it to look ok. I tried to cut straight trim with mitre corners but it just looked naff, so I personally just sprayed the bare edges black and did without trim.

They do, buts its a really wierd shape and wont look right on my case.

I should be able to cut any of the trims at 45 degree angle at the corners too tidy it up, thanks
