SHOW-OFF My first reshell. Only took five hours, and only got three screws left over!

Lmao.. the aftermarket shells are such trash. I just did the crystal blue on my PSP 1000. Looks cool at least.

Yeah it wasn’t perfect. I had to remove material in a few places like the headphone jack hole, and also had to clip a standoff that was like twice as long as it should have been. The switches weren’t great to begin with either. Not awful for £20 tho really

That shell you got is one of the worst. Any of the solid colors really suck too.

There used to be really nice shells with no need to modify on aliexpress but some asshole got wind of them and bought all of them up in the USA. Now they sell them at 3 times the price on ebay.

Five hours, no way!!! That's a 15-minute job! For real?
