Yeah, clock's boards are nice. But considering this is a Matty board, I think the modded look is pretty good.

Got mine today too. Pretty pleased with the board, especially the weight as the one I owned originally was solid wood & too heavy. I'm also glad the foot pad turns! 
My only gripe is that there's no handle bar hole.
Probably upgrade the stickers with lenticular sheets & green velcro at some point and adding a battery box!

One of the first things I ended up doing...
what does the underside look like without magnets?

Judging from the inside molding, I'd say flat with 4 screw holes per disc.

I could be wrong, but the the front part definitely looks flat with 4 holes in those pics at the end of page 13. The deck looks like it's sitting flush on the ground, so that's why I'm not thinking there's any protrusions.
The back is admittedly more of a guess since the disc is in the way. There may be a protrusion back there.
I don't know if the screw holes on these parts/board would align with screen accurate parts.

Got mine today. See pictures. The decals are NOT flat on mine. I only opened one of the two though, Took off the bottom parts to see what they look like. There is a slight ridge where the parts go, I assume for assembly alignment ease. These will easily sand off for the new parts to go on. Pretty excited.

That would be me. http://www.therpf.com/f75/bttf-hoverboard-parts-kit-233548/ The ridges where the original ones came off will need to be sanded down. and the holes filled in but These things are going to look great when modded.

Do your magnet pads line up exactly with the original magnet pads that were removed as well as the screw holes?

No, the HC board parts are so incorrect that its not even close. Coincidentally, the front screw holes are the same distance apart, but if lined up would place the parts so far back on the board it would look ridiculous. If you look in the picture you can see where my magnet lines up compared to the original one.
I cant blame them for incorrect parts, keeping cost low was a priority for them and they were successful. These boards are a MUCH better base for modifying than the Matty boards and I am excited to start modifying mine!

So you're offering 2 magnet pads + battery pack or just the battery pack correct?
Now that we've seen what the HC board actually looks like, will it be possible for you to offer the battery pack with side extensions that reach the existing magnet pads that the HC board comes with! I'd be all over that. The magnet pads that the board brings seem perfectly fine to me.
Just an idea.

I would consider doing this after I get the parts out to the people on the original run if they are still interested in them.
