If you often find yourself confused about good shell, this is your end point. If you are looking for something of great quality to enhance the look and feel of your controller, you can't go wrong with these faceplates. It is semi-slick, matte soft plastic. The thin layer of paint will collect sweat and hand smudges supper fast. The texture and color are great. It comes with instructions and a plastic pry tool to assist in removing the hand grips.

The "foggy" part of the plate is just a thin layer of paint so it'll rub away after time.
