If you want a fancy replacement shell you have to de-laminate the LCD screen from the old shell first. Depending on the kit you buy DON’T use a metal spudger for removing the LCD and take your time, or you will have a bad time.
Side note, Ifixit sells direct replacement LCD panels and the kit for doing a better job removing the LCD if you don’t already have them.
