So here we have our old school Xbox. This is a first generation Xbox and as you can see from the pictures above this console got a beating but still in a very good shape. Lot of people do not take care of their consoles and this is perfect example to use a new decal.

Size comparison |

Pealing off |
The main X decal is pretty much the same size as the Xbox. I mean why wouldn't it be? HAHAHAH.The first thing you want to do is peal off the decal from the main sticker.

Big sticker |
|
High quality vinyl |
Just like every sticker out there, you want to be careful while un pealing it. You don't want to rip it and that would be a bad thing. The actual sticker is a vinyl. This particular vinyl is highly durable. In fact DecalGirl promises that their decals will last without fading anywhere between 5 to 7 years! WOAH!

Xbox logo |
After applying the X decal to the top of the Xbox, finaly everything comes in to play. I had to make sure that the center of the Xbox matches and aligns perfectly. I am a neat freak so it has to be perfect!:)

Installation of both of the sides of the kit was easy too. Just pealing off the sticker and applying it to the unit. All the edges fit right in and everything falls right in to place.

Wrap around |
The front panel decal was also easy to install. It is great that DecalGirl vinyl is very durable and leaves no gue residue. The corners wrap around tough areas and stay tight.

Back side |
As you can see from the pictures above, the front and back of the Xbox now looks very sweet and stylish. The back of the Xbox is not as important as the front but its nice to have a complete package.
