Review of Xbox 360 Faceplate Forza 2

Customer Ratings:

The XBox 360 comes with a removeable faceplate, allowing you to snap on new faceplates to customize your XBox 360's look.

First, the packaging. All of the XBox components we've bought have come in a thick plasic unit, to keep it safe from thieves I imagine. The faceplate plastic outerwear tells you to cut across the very top with scizzors, to help you open it without damaging the faceplate. However, at the very bottom is the instructions, so you have to dig them out!

To begin installation, you have to of course pry off the starting faceplate. This isn't exactly an easy task. At the very bottom of the faceplate (beneath the USB area) is a slot that you have to pull out on. Unless you have a very strong fingernail, find a screwdriver and pull out gently. That should get the faceplate to pull off straight towards you.

You'll be able to see that there are 4 tabs on the upper face and 3 on the lower face that hold the faceplate on. The tabs don't have "edges" like I've seen on most computer faceplates, they are more rounded. Hopefully this will help them not wear out as quickly, but I'm not sure personally that I would want to continuously add and remove faceplates from this system. The tabs don't look like they would last up to multiple pulls.

Simply press the new faceplate on, and you're all set. I like the blue one shown, but they also have a wood-themed one, a black flame unit and a silver unit.

Is it really necessary to have a new faceplate for your XBox 360? Of course not. But it does add a bit of personalization to your unit, and the price is pretty reasonable!

This is a great buy, it's very dark and actually kinda feels like carbon fiber. Probably coolest looking faceplate out there, buy this.

Honest reviews on Xbox 360 Faceplate Forza 2

I had the original 360 in boring, ugly white for years before I upgraded my whole entertainment center. After getting all new sleek, black electronics in there, the only thing that didn't look right was the 360. Rather than buying the Elite black just for the looks, I bought the Carbon faceplate. It. Looks. Awesome. Now I wish all my electronics had a carbon look.

Installation was simple. The cutouts for the memory, DVD slot, and power ring are just right. No complaints at all.

Had a small yet deep 1/8th inch scratch on one edge (black marker fixed) and the spring for the front USB lid was completely busted (had to replace with spring from old face plate), and it clearly was labeled as "used, but in like-new condition." ... But, I'm just happy with it because it looks so darn cool on my black 360 case with the blue LEDs on the back fan. Besides those two things, I was very happy.
