Re: C11 Elite looking better now - Well, I think so......
C11's on C8 straps look great. Nice one. They really should think about making it a std option.... 8) http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac312/mik_ok/C11/7be769164fe0fb527aa5406b297ed4ef_zpsbec7b5de.jpg Great work on the refurbishment.

I could my own little ones breaking in to the case after planning the mod changes with a little h...
