Default Do you customize your blade canopy?

I know there are a lot of custom canopies for larger helis, but do you customize your Minis? The first day I had mine I was ripping off the stickers so I could make it my own.

I would like to offer some new looks to others if there is interest. What I am thinking about is creating some artwork that can be printed on an inkjet sticker. You can get sheets of glossy sticker paper at an office supply store, and I think the results could be pretty good. Since the decal would not stretch much, it would need to stay on the sides where things are flat, and I have made up a template that I think would work ok for this.

Here are some example designs.

Feedback welcome.

Does cutting a cooling hole in the canopy for better cooling count? Really helps main motor and ESC cooling.
