White Housing kit for G1!

[HardDaez]

***WARNING THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY***

I ordered my white housing kit from this seller on ebay and the housing is perfect!
I love the white keypad!

***it does take like 2 weeks to receive your housing kit but its all worth it at the end***

"THE WHITE BATTERY COVER DOES NOT COME WITH IT" but I bought mine on from a friend so goodluck finding an original white cover and not spray painted!

***PLEASE READ***
(to those who try to change there housing remember to remove all the old hinges and all the little stuff from the old housing and exchange them onto the new housing)

[xdavidn88]

[mikef1182]

Is it from a none US version or something? My keys are silver not white, thats why I ordered them. Looks pretty PITA to install, but we'll see.

[breandly]

so would i because i am so bored at looking at this black...only reason i didnt get white because they were sold out everywhere at the time

pretty sure if i had bought the white id by dying for a black one now though :o

[JohnnyLicious]

i wanted the white once since release date but they ran out so i had to settle with the black one but now hopefully i can get this customized one for me.

[JohnnyLicious]

Goodluck!! Remember to post tons of pictures. I'm actually weirdly excited for this and how it's gonna turn out.

[crazythunder]

i'm scared for you,lol. i've taken apart digital cameras down to the lens. it's a nightmare.need a magnifying glass and a good macro camera to take pictures of every step you do beforehand. trust me. it might save you. and keep plenty of ziplock bags nearby for screws and label each bag by steps. it's like a friggin nasa experiment. good luck. this might be a little easier than a digicam though. hopefully.
