So my housing bent from who knows what. Anyway, I figured it would be a good idea to do a color swap. Could someone point me in the direction of some really high quality parts?

eBay has some good quality parts, but only few of the suppliers have good parts. I have bought god knows how many parts, and most of them were.. Eh.

iFixIt has genuine or highest quality parts on the market but they cost more.

I have personally used lower grade parts in some of my repairs and so far they haven't caused any issue. Nonetheless, search eBay and include genuine or OEM in your search bar along with the part you are looking for.

Good luck.

Yea iFixIt is a great source, but I figure that if I'm going to change the housing now, I'd get a color change.  I used to do these with other phones but I know that some retailers are hit or miss on parts.  I was hoping someone else had a good source from experience.

As I said before, use eBay if you want a color change. But giving the fact that it's a different color, it won't really be genuine or the best quality ever. I have replaced a lot of housings in my life and I can tell you one thing. Make sure you know the consequences before you attempt to do this. 

The signal strength and the wi-fi signal strength will never be the same because some of the housings are thicker than the original ones and are slightly blocking the signal. 

Also, if you've never done this before I wouldn't suggest you doing it alone because it's a pain in the ass, and you'll most likely screw up. Good luck nonetheless and let me know how it goes! I hope it works out for you!

I personally buy all of my iPhone parts from Etechparts. Best quality iPhone parts I've received for a very competitive price. I use to purchase from Amazon, but it was cheaper going with them. As others recommend, ebay and iFixit are great as well.
