    Browsing on Ebay again and Alpine finally released a silver version of the perfect fit bezel to match the silver color of my 2013 prius dash. Previously, they only offered black colored bezel.

    Just a correction here. Although it looks silver in the pictures, the kit is actually black. After speaking to the seller and Alpine USA myself, they still do not have the silver colored bezel out yet, and I don't believe that they intend to release a silver colored bezel out anytime soon. As a matter of fact, I have a feeling that this Alpine kit will be possibly discontinued - it is getting harder to find online.

    Which means that Prius owners like myself with a silver colored mid-dash console will have to purchase it and spray paint the black bezel.

    the OEM color looks like a gun-metal metallic paint. Anyone know the paint code for this?

    Anyhow, I purchased the Alpine kit to fit the 8 inch INE-z928HD which arrived in the mail today:

    Although made in China, this $200 kit looks to be of decent quality. The bezel's plastic is thick yet pliable and the wires, metal bracket look well made. However, the steering wheel control module rattles when you shake it! I will have to take it apart and glue down whatever it is that is rattling since this will eventually annoy me once it is mounted onto the car.
