iPhone replacement parts
Guys i'm thinking bout replacing the silver front bezel on my iPhone since it has a few marks on it.
has anyone purchased parts from www.iFixit.com?

http://www.ifixit.com/Products/iPhone/105

or do you guys have any other suggestions for iPhone parts?

Yeh the front bezel gets scratched pretty easily and yeh even with BestSkinsEver on my iphone as well as a silicon case it still seems to scratch. I don't know whether it would be a alternative for you but I would consider spraying it black.

Something like what colorware does... With the right steps you could get just as good of a finish as they do.

For iPhone parts in general I would check out eBay first... seems there are lots of US / HK based stores selling all the comonly broken assemblies/parts that iFixit does for a fraction of the price that are exactly the same part.
