Lots of small wires and tiny parts.

Soldering is not something you just watch a youtube vid and start doing. It takes a little practice. Find some old computer hardware (old mobo or memory stick no longer in use) and try soldering some 30 AWG wire to it. Not just the easy through-hole spots, but also solder wire to the small SMD (surface mount device) resistors and stuff. Most kits make you use the controller LEDs, and if you try to install it the very first time you ever try soldering, you are going to burn LEDs and lift pads. Take the time to practice on junk hardware to get the feel of how the solder flows.

Get solder paste too. Practice at making sure the wire stays on even if you pull on it hard. The wire should break off away from the solder joint, not at the solder joint. If it doesnt 'stick' you have made a 'cold solder joint' This is where the new solder added does not melt the old solder and so its like adding a glop of wet cement ontop of old dried cement. You can kick it off after hardens with no effort. You have to make sure that thespot you solder to melts the old solder properly. This takes practice.

Lol with that I think I might get it done professionaly.
Like sending it to Frosty Modz.
