I made a skiing skin for the Verizon razr v3c/v3m (and possibly others).  I will post it if there is enough interest, because writing a guide on how to do this would take quite a bit of time.  It would help if you already knew something about hooking your phone up to the computer to view files, because that is probably the hardest past.  Here are some pics:
Instead of the Verizon logo being on the outside screen when the phone is open, the NS icon is:

This is a shitty pic, but it shows the menu skin.  Each of the main menus has a different main picture, and the title bar has a ski from the company that athlete rides for:

I'm gonna reply to you all in one post:
Shadows:Yes it is, what makes you say it's not (btw I'm you completely done)
Static:What moto logos are you talking about?  Because I might be able to get rid of them.
TrueKing.:It only works for Motorola phones, and I can only do it for phones I have.

Actually yes, now that I think about it.  The site that I learned how to make it from called it a skin, though, that's why I put skin.

Maybe... I'm pretty sure there is a way to do this with most Moto phones.  Google it though.

So here's the deal, I'm going to write instructions on how to install, then I will zip all the files and post them later tonight or tomorrow.  It includes:
The files for the skiing menus
Startup and shutdown animations
The file to make the NS logo appear on the outside of the phone instead of the Verizon one
I am going to warn you, though.  This is a hard install to perform.  It can fuck your phone up, but it's not likely.
