I love my PSP. Not for PSP games, but for NOT emulators. I get more play out of it currently than any other system/handheld I own right now, mostly because I'm always on the go. (Wish I had a portable Dreamcast. Someone should get working on a NOT emulator for that...)
So I decided to pimp my PSP out. I think skins are lame and I kinda wanted to crack open my PSP to get a look at its bits so I decided to get a faceplate. A shiny red faceplate. ....................... 
THIS IS NOT A FUCKING SHINY METALLIC RED FACEPLATE! This has got to be some kind of sick joke. I mean, they don't even offer this product on their site! I ordered a red faceplate off of eBay for only 99 cents (and $10 shipping and handling >_>) from some random Hong Konganese (apparently they are no longer considered a part of China) distributor. It took about two weeks to get here. I opened it a literally almost cried. It's not that I'm anti-pink. Pink can be okay. I wouldn't want a pink anything video game related, but if it would have been any other shade, any other color, I would have been okay. So I e-mailed them with a picture of what had been sent and even a link to the product I had bought (it even had fucking pictures of a red faceplate so it wasn't like, "Oh, maybe red is the same thing as pink in fucking China.") No response. E-mailed them again with no file attachment. No response. So I guess I'm out about $16. I learned my lesson though, and I'm thinking about adding a cute lil panda or a strawberry or something to this current faceplate and reselling it or something for like $15 since faceplates are normally $10. Anyone interested?

Yea. I'll probably just try to buy another one.
i'd say... keep the pink face plate.
Sorry you had to learn that about ebay the hard way =(. Anyway, I think you should try what Corak said, I spray painted my old Xbox controllers with a silver color and they looked awesome, still do.
And sorry to hear about your bad experience. If you really want a red PSP, you can trade in your current one for the GoW PSP bundle coming out. Or spray paint it.
And 2 Stupid Dogs is awesome. (Statement said while wearing retro-goggles so I can't be held accountable for that.)
I think MrJunko is on the right track with painting it. Why the hell didn't I think of that? You'd probably have trouble not painting over the PSP logo, but I think you could make something pretty neat out of the pink one. You could always let me paint it, too. >_>
Oh, and 2 Stupid Dogs is still awesome.
hmm...you know, this is why i'm glad I imported my PSP. Even if it is the phatass model, it's azure blue and it's fuckin sexy every time I bring it out the house and play it in public.
but also....you should know not to really trust many things coming out of Hong Kong to begin with.
I like the cute strawberry or panda idea, myself. But I like cute things.
Also, you should fire off an email to WiiSucks for an easy $16.
