In Europe we only get the choice of the F900BT and the F700BT. I took the F900 as it plays DVD's.

The F900 is shiney piano black and the F700 is a matt finish.

My car dash is a matt finish, and so is my adapter to fit the stereo (although a 'slight' different shade). Then I have the naff matt bezel Pioneer supply, and then the beautiful shiney stereo!

Is there a shiney piano black bezel I can get anywhere that matches the F900's face? At least that would save me having so many different shades of black! I wish they did the F900 with a matt finish too, as it would suit my dash better!

You could always paint it yourself, to whatever finish you want.

A possibility I suppose, but to be honest I'd rather just buy one if I could as I'm not very good with a spray can!

how good would it look with a glossy frame and matte buttons?

I used Rustoleum satin black on mine (the dash piece and not the unit itself) - I'm much happier with it - just two coats(4 hours between coats) no sanding - let dry 24 hours. Before it was flat black which really stood out especially with the high gloss finish. I've always used satin black for dash parts in previous cars.
