Final Touches to Joomla Template

I would like to make some final touches to my joomla template before my site goes live. The site is starting to look fantastic, but want now I am looking for that WOW factor. My new site is here: [login to view URL] And I think there are two things that need to be done: 1: I would like the carbon fiber in the margins to have a gradient on them that goes half way down the page before repeating. It must be fuid so there are no visable gaps in the tile. In a simular fashion to this: [login to view URL] 2: I need the main text area to have some depth on top of the carbon fiber. I would like something like this: [login to view URL] OR i would like a drop shadow, which ever would look better.
