Not always to make it better but always to PERSONALIZE things.

I customized a couple of M3's, sure to make them "better" in my eyes, but 
mainly to personalize them.

To make them unique. Make them express something unique about their owner.

I admit it. I love the attention that my purple snake skin clad chrome M3 
gets me when people say "wow, that kind of camera is that?"

It is as beautiful as it is functional. Better than new but more 
importantly, it's uniquely mine.

Dave.
