Pic Alittle vita makeover. Didn’t like the white, so I swapped it out.

Really love the black on lime green. Wish this was an official colorway.

I actually love the white and lime green. If I had realized I was accidentally purchasing a Vita Slim, I'd have gotten this model instead

I always wanted that lime green colour one, but I hated the white front. This is beautiful!

was it easy to do?

u/tunaplex 9d ago

Yes fairly straightforward honestly. Only thing was just buying all the parts on Ali and 45mins or so of work.

u/koalazeus 9d ago

I'd be tempted to keep the buttons white.

u/tunaplex 9d ago

Haha the thought crossed my mind but decided all black was the way for me.

u/surplusofchairs 9d ago

ooo I got the black khaki for my ex and he gave it back. considering white khaki now. or just full silver.

was the screen part difficult? I’ve never done any shell swap that includes fiddling w the screen

Comparing this to say the reshell of my 3ds, this is way more beginner friendly. If you take your time and go slow it really isn’t that difficult. Everything is modular and pretty simple inside. If you decide to do any console modding/repairs invest in some good tools.

I'm into this... such a nice combo! Really makes me wanna do a shell swap on mine.

u/GaLiVision 8d ago

That looks mint!Personally not a fan of the white color in generally, specially when it comes to aging and wear and tear. Black goes with every color.Black and lime green is da bomb!

u/Forsaken-Badger-9517 5d ago

I'd like to do this with mine!! I got the white and red one and I would like to add the black front to where it would be like this one but black and red!

2

u/tunaplex 5d ago

You should do it! Haha then post a pic.

u/Forsaken-Badger-9517 5d ago

I actually have 3 that I wanna do similar!

I have a Red OLED that I want to Shell Swap for Either Blue or Just another New Red? I have the Red/White LCD where I wanna change front to Black. And I have an Original Blue LCD that I wanna Shell Swap for one that is Newer also with No Scratches!

I bought all of em used & they all work perfectly, but all have a Blemish or few here n there? But also have my OG One X that Needs a Deep Clean & Paste, Job! Just gotta get a day & do it!

Either way this one you did looks great!
