If your looking for a one off jewel try here http://www.mad-modder.com/ thay can put any thing in the way of text on it for you at about the same price as the rest.
But if you just want one at a low price go with ebay.

If you look around in the tutorials section, theres abunch of things you can do with your stock jewel. They're in the case modding section. _________________

Here you can see my jewel:
I'm a massive UT Online Gamer so it just seemed appropriate. Really nice jewel though, lights up brilliantly with the cathode ring I have underneath it.

Okay, so I read the tutorial on how to do some stock jewel mods, the problem I'm having is getting the old one out, I tried a philips screwdriver, utility n\knife, steak knife, paint scraper etc and pryed the $h!t outta it but it still won't come out, I even risked scratching th xbox just to get it out (I can sand and buff those out later) and it still won't come out. any tips or ideas?

Take the lid of the case and hold a hair dryer to the under side of the case right under whare the bottem of the jewel wold be in most cases it will get hot enuff and fall right off, sometimes it needs a little help but that seems to be the best way.

or just hold it over a kettle of boiling water, i used a butter knife that was thin enough to slide under the jewel while heating it then it should just pop off when it gets hot enough. _________________

Okay, so I got the jewel off, took some nail polish remover and took off the paint, looks really nice. I was just curious as to what other mods I can do to make it look better without buying special parts. I have pretty much any tool you can think of (because I'm a mechanic) so that's not a problem, what can I do now?
