    Notes

    • Colors may vary from what you see on your display
    • This is an aftermarket product and may not feel identical to its genuine counterpart
    • While this kit contains a number of parts to help you get started with this project, it does not contain everything needed; notably, while the USB-C port and a 3D-printed housing support are provided, a battery is not included in this kit due to shipping restrictions. We recommend either the 1000mAh 50mm x 20mm x 10mm battery or the 850mAh 45mm x 20mm x 8mm battery, both available here. Please take note of the shipping restrictions listed in the Notes section on that page.

      Great Kit To Expand Your Skill

      This kit gives you some great 3D printed parts you need to complete the build and honestly is awesome because of the level of difficulty with this type of mod project. It will teach you a lot along the way and test you. Mine did not come out quite as I hoped but I know I can take what I learned and do another for sure. Really want to even.

      Awesome kit!

      This was a tough build, but well worth the effort! Keep up the good work Xipher and thanks for supplying RM!

      Thank you so much Xipher and RM Team!

      I just want to say that the Retro Modding customer service team was incredible :) USPS for some reason decided not to deliver the original package, and instead returned it to sender. But RM were super helpful and ended up sending over another discounted kit so I wouldn't have to wait for the original package to boomerang back across the continental U.S. Whew!

      The conversion kit itself was great, tough build and satisfying. I ended up deviating from Xipher's video in several ways, but problem solving is half the fun! Thank you Retromodding!
