Review on eXtremeRate Soft Touch Replacement Kit - Foggy Clear Blue Faceplate Cover, Front Housing Shell Case for PS4 Slim Pro Controller JDM-040 JDM-050 JDM-055 - Controller NOT Included by Ken Perry

Revainrating 2 out of 5

To look good. for PlayStation 4

Suitable for CUH-ZCT 1U and 2U models. If you don't have them, I recommend watching a disassembly video before installing the plastic tools and adding them to your cart. Also, you need to tighten the included screws at 4 points around the controller before disassembling and reassembling. You didn't drill the holes well enough so use one or two of the 6-8 screws provided so you don't over drill the holes so you can line them up when reassembling. Take the 4 official SONY screws and screw them back into the removed bezel as they don't work well with that (even now you can sell your bezel if it's in good condition or keep it and keep it). its screws in the dedicated box so you can change them later if you want or if your new face shell gets in danger and breaks). By the way, you get a screwdriver. It just doesn't offer the best grip/torque, but it's worth noting that it's included. The only issue aside from the screws is that the rubber behind the PlayStation/Home button doesn't fit snugly, but it stretches well. Enough. Again, you'll need disassembly instructions and plastic prying tools - unless you want to scratch the controller with a metal screwdriver/blade and potentially ruin the controller by tearing the ribbon cables inside.
