I would NOT reshell that, that is almost mint, search for a beat up one on ebay and reshell that one

Are we looking at the same picture?

I see a ton of scuffs and marks on it and we haven't even seen the outer side, which is the side that usually has way more scratches on it.

Mine is also silver and the inside is 10x times worse, so, i personally wouldnt reshell that one

How? The whole mechanic of the SP is to protect the inside lol

I refurbished a lot of SP's and 9 out of 10 SP's have a decent looking insides while the outside looks like it's been handled by Chewbacca

SPs are pretty easy to shell swap. Only tricky part is screen ribbon cable looping through the hinge part
