GBC & GBA replacement shells?

Pages: (1/1)

TyrannicalFascist:

Since Wiggy is offering GBA backlight kits soon, I've been thinking about doing it to a GBA, however I dont want to modify my original childhood model. Similarly, at some point I'd like to do the same with a GBC with a frontlight mod.

I'm curious if there are any places that have replacement shells for the GBC and/or GBA that might have any of these colors:

-Solid/Jet Black (found Jet black GBA, but no solid black GBC)
-Clear Black (like the exclusive Eiden clear black GBC or King of Fighters GBA, both rare)
-Clear Dark Blue (like what Japanese Midnight Blue appears to be, rather than its actual clear purple look, or like the front of the Hong Kong Pokémon GBC)
-Clear (found clear GBC, but no clear GBA)

I've found some handhelds that were limited exclusives internationally, like the clear black GBC, but I'd rather just replace the shell of an easy-to-find handheld than modify a rarer limited handheld. The tricky thing is I'd ideally like to get the GBC and GBA shells to match each other. Anyone know any places that sell replacement GBC and GBA shells?

Here's where I'm looking at all the existing versions by the way: http://www.imgcab.com/gameboy/gameboy0.html

SnesGuy:

I usually just buy my replacement shells on eBay.
I was thinking about ordering a GBA shell for the same reason myself.
Have a beat up one I got at a yard sale for $1 and with wiggy's light kit coming, yup.

I just cant decide between black or safety orange

color wise whatever is on eBay is pretty much whats available. Sometimes you can find other ones looking at china wholesale sites. (places like deal extreme)
