Homemade body
I made this outta drink bottle, silver paint, and sharpie marker. It was the result of an attempt to make a lighter body that would be than stock. I was running as chassis only but I wanted something... Took like 10 minutes.

But the cord comes out the front of the mouse... I got the idea when my room mate would pick it up off his desk by the antenna (i'd drive it around, trying to knock stuff off, like pencils, pens, papers, empty cans, and even heavier stuff that took multiple hits like keys) anyway, it looked like a mouse picked up by the tail, and cuz a mouse like the 4 leg kind would be hard to make, i just made a comp mouse.

All I did was...
First, cut some plastic out of a drink bottle thats the width of your bit (my clone was about 1.25" wide) and about twice as long as the chassis.
Second, bend about .25 of the front almost all the way to itself, so that there is little separation, like 10 degrees.
Third, Trim the .25 piece so that it is a little less than an eighth.
Fourth, hook the front bend around the front tab on your chassis and mark the body at the back of the rear tire and bend it down very slightly there.
Fifth, make a sharp downward bend behind the last one and a little further back than the last chassis tab. This should make the body hold onto your chassis. Trim off the exess plastic, I left about 3/8 of an inch i guess.
Paint the body silver on the outside so it has a flat finish, let it dry, and use a sharpie to make the buttons and lettering. You could add a little scroll wheel or something. Be creative. Here is a pic showing which bends are which. I used a lil bit of double sided foam tape to stick the body down better. Good luck.
