mine is totally kickass. and yeah, thats a blue wifi antennae. (i liked that flame in the example picture, so i used it ) i did more of a light brushing w/ 600 grit sandpaper and its more like stainless steel or like a frosted aluminum than brushed, but i like it better this way. I also plan to do some more airbrushing, depending on how that antennae paint holds up ( i just did it today)
