I took my lite and a shell I bought online and made this.

I didn't want to do just straight gold so I mixed it up a little.

Interesting, I didn't know you could buy shells for this stuff.

What all is involved here? The buttons match the exterior, so did you also get new buttons?

I had no idea this sort of thing was an option. That's pretty damn neat.

Yeah. If you're mechanically inclined, have a steady hand, and the time I fully recommend it. There's a bunch of different ones out there.

I've got 3 out of 3 of those. What I don't have is money or a 3DS =P

Still. Pretty neat stuff.

@jayjay I think you did a great job assembling it to your DS Lite, it looks really nice.
Were the instructions clear enough or did you neded separate tutorials?

This is great to know. Sometimes a button stops working or the hinge breaks so becoming aware of this option is appreciated. Thanks for sharing!

That looks really cool and I like what you have done there most woudl just choose one colour and be done with it but I like what you have done with two colours, makes it more unique

Really nice work. I was going to do a project like this awhile back but with GBA before I found out about 8BitEvolution that is. Great work though, nicely done!
