Removing & Applying A Xbox 360 Faceplate​

What is a Xbox 360 Faceplate?

A Xbox 360 Faceplate is the very front part of your Xbox. It is removable as people like to paint their Faceplates or buy them as you can buy Faceplates from your local gaming store with different designs on them. Removing the Faceplate is an easy process and placing it back on the Xbox is even easier but you just need to know how to do it right. If you wish to go out and buy a new Faceplate from your local gaming store than the average price for them is $10-$20 depending on the quality and design.
