And by the way, while I think the dashboard will be body colored, I think they not that expensive to replace:

Something to consider in the event my steering wheel winds up on the other side of the car!
I'm just messing with you! I'm sure you knew that the link is for a UK car

LOL, yeah, I went to ebay UK because I knew they'd give us an idea.

Should we all just start chanting real loud, "BEZEL, BEZEL, BEZEL" till our combined voices form an echo of a faint "bezel, bezel, bezel" that spreads across America and reaches somebody with a camera who is near a truck carrying the Primas and subconsciously influences that person to take a photo and send it to us?

"Bezel Across America."  Someone should write a song.

Ok, I just stumbled into this discussion which should be renamed "bezel conspiracy" - are you guys saying that the cute pale green Fiat I am dreaming of ordering will not have a painted green dash?  This is a deal-breaker --- all the models I saw at the Los Angeles Village dealership were all silver and had solid greys interior - I didn't think aout it at the time as being an issue because based on what I see on Fiat's website, the Sport interior has less color variation than the Pop does. I really like the Pop with the two-toned white headliner/dark grey/black seating and then with the white and the color dash (bezel?) area - it is very vintage looking and is most of the charm of the car!  If they go with all solid dash/bezel color, it just ruins the whole vintage feel of the car.

The graphite dash is Prima Edizione only. All others will have a dash color-matched to the exterior color of the car. On the fiatusa website you can play around with different configurations and change the views to look at the interior dash panel for your configuration.
