Discussion
The replacement panel is beautiful, seems a bit thicker and sturdier than the transparent one (most likely it is). It looks more fun, the print is bright, clear, and vector-based. Maybe I'll order another one with a different design someday, but the price is unreasonably high.
These are good. thanks for offering. excited to customise my console.
