This happened few weeks ago and I'm tired of looking at it.
Any ideas of how I can fix these nasty scratches?
I thought about some Scotch Brite pads....or buff with 600-1000 grit wet dry sandpaper?
Replacement of the display shell?

I'll give that a try.
The slight dent and deep gouge might be a problem though.
Last thing I'm gonna do is whip out the Bondo, prime and paint the damn thing like a 67 Camaro

Let you know how it turns out.

Cool - Take some pics before and after. Well you already have the "before"

cheers ...

Nothing wrong with battle scars my friend. I got scars on my body worse than that. Just trying to cheer you up mate.

The dents and nicks don't bother me much.
I was going to try and sell it before the dent occurred though.
Might not get a s much for it now.

Looking to upgrade to a newer MBP.

Oh well.

Cool. Gonna wait for the i7 or the new AMD based mac? Both are just rumors and guesses at the moment

cheers ...

Yeah....I'm waiting for the i7's.
The i7's do sound like a more of a vertical upgrade over my current MBP.
I really didn't see much of an upgrade over my somewhat "older" Macbook Pro with the latest Macbook Pro models out now.

It's still a good laptop.

Sensible. I am holding off (saving up) for the "upcoming" i7 myself - if they ever decide to get in gear. My 3.1 model is still running, superbly

Ouch. Yeh that's the problem when dealing with cosmetically appealing notebooks. Got to be super careful.

That is why I use casing/covers when outside the house
