LV present to myself...
I finally came across an AD that would sell me an LV insert no questions asked - so bought it for myself for Christmas... next step is to find an AD who can swap it for me...

It will be a lot of things but genuine is not one of them.

I agree. While it won't be an LV, it'll still look cool. I'm hoping do the same mod to my 16610 in the future.
