Nooooo.... nothing that difficult here. A few bends of the clips and 510 washer. Its just the small parts you need to be careful of. The magnets are literally the size of an ant. And STRONG! Easy to lose if your not careful. And the screws to hold the chip in. I tried to magnetize them, but I guess they're S/S.
I'm a fan of smaller mods. I can accept the width of the device since it's dual batteries (I want the runtime rather than the extra watts). The SXM is the biggest (tallest?) mod I have and the heaviest. I saw a pic of the Boxer next to a SX(M?) and it was shorter. That helped me decide that I wanted it over the SXM. My current favorite mods is the VS DNA40 when I'm out and rDNA40 when I'm home.Hmmmmm smaller than I thought. Exercise...... Restraint!!

The soldering was about 5 minutes of the hour
. Just saying it looks like a really easy DIY kit to put together.

How are the magnets held on? Press fit or glued/epoxied?
I'm excited to get the kit. I hope it ships on the expected date (6/22).
got my shipping notice yesterday. should be here in the next couple of days. also should recieve my 4 new sony vtc 5s today. getting ready to rumble...It was. I bet if I got a 2nd one it would only take about 30 minutes to do since i'm familiar with it now.
But posted that more for the not so experienced. Saving the $80 and doing it yourself is nice (and FUN), but losing one of the small parts or needing a replacement part (or two) because you did something wrong, I'm sure wont be. Would be tough looking at the unit for a few more days once you have it and waiting for the extra parts to arrive
The instructions stated epoxy. I'd gather that the magnets would stick together and pull out of the unit/door if it wasn't. Definitely post some pics when you get yours. If it's the dark navy blue like in their facebook picture, I won't be able to resist.
There's only one Blue and it looks like the dark navy blue.It was. I bet if I got a 2nd one it would only take about 30 minutes to do since i'm familiar with it now.

I ordered mine last night and got tracking today.
How so? It looks like their 6/22 shipment came early, or at least that's what I'm thinking. You can still get blue.You evidently got one of the last blues
According to my chat they had an unexpected run on the blue. No more till the first of July. Only color they were out of
