So I bought a radio bezel and center console today, only to find out I think they are different colors. The bezel is grey and the console looks to be a grey/gold/tan color. I cant stand the grey/gold/tan color!

Options are:
New bezel and hate the color
Paint both to match and risk a bad paint job
New center console and spend more money

What would you do?

i would wait until you get the parts in hand and see if they match, i originally thought i ended up with mismatched colors on the bezel and console but they ended up being right.

the bezel for the console is available too...tough to decipher the color codes....

You have the correct bezel if you were looking for the color keyed option

So I bought a radio bezel and center console today, only to find out I think they are different colors. The bezel is grey and the console looks to be a grey/gold/tan color. I cant stand the grey/gold/tan color!

Options are:
New bezel and hate the color
Paint both to match and risk a bad paint job
New center console and spend more money

What would you do?

I just went through the same issue going from the center console to the jump seat. Mine had silverish/gold, I was trying to find the right part number for the new bezel (color is called color keyed option). It actually looks right once installed. Look at the small trim on the door panels. If you have the silverish gold your good if not the only other option was the black grey. Regarding part number, going from 2013 to 2014 they changed the last letter. Still interchangeable though, the biggest difference was character 3-6 in the part number. Console or not, woodgrain ect.

So I received both the center console and the radio bezel. They do not match. Seems the radio bezel comes from a Limited since it has carbon fiber trim. The Limited bezel seems to have more of a silver/grey trim and the console has silver/light tan color. I hope the other console I ordered matches!

I found out that the trim on the center console is removable. So worse case, I try to find the matching trim.

One of the consoles will be up for sale soon!
