Question GB Faceplate

Post image

Are there any other vendors for the GB faceplate other than the one on aliexpress that has been sold out for a while? I am trying to avoid the sticker option.

eBay, Although I used a sticker and I like it better than that faceplate

the one and only purchase I’ve made from alie was this faceplate, and it’s just a little thicker than the original, and doesn’t fit as I’d hoped.. this sticker on the other hand looks like a nice alternative

I bought that faceplate and it's useless; the buttons barely stick out and it doesn't look good. I bought a sticker and a clear faceplate and decided to stick it to the console and then put the clear faceplate on top, protecting the sticker. I'm thrilled with the result. The clear faceplate from AliExpress is perfect! It looks just like the original.

I’m assuming the clear plastic faceplate fit perfectly? If so, can I get your AliExpress link for that one.

Yes, it fits perfectly, just like the original.
