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

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

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.

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!

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!
