Vaio Z1 SGP Skin and Battery

I'm thinking about getting the carbon fiber or black leather skin for the top of my Z1 but I haven't found any pictures of it on a silver Z. Is there a user on the forum that has had one on the silver model? I'm just hesitant to purchase it because I think that it wont match well with the color of my rig.
BTW, where can I find a genuine battery for the Z1?
Thanks

I suggest you get the KH brand on Ebay. It includes bezel and palm rest coverage. I bought the leather type for my black Z2 and it looks great.

I've had numerous skins for numerous Z1s and here are my conclusions:

1) They only look good if you have a black Z
2) The "faux deep black leather" is the only decent looking one to go with
3) Some of the ones for sale on eBay are unclear as to whether they include a wrist rest skin, and of those that do, many supply a faux suede (though they do not say so) which wears down quickly, also doesn't match lid
4) IMO, the simulated Carbon Fiber skins look, well, simulated!
5) To be sure you are getting the faux black leather lid and wrist rest, you have to pay a bit more and order them separately (see below)
6) There are some clear skins that look pretty sharp new, but they do yellow with time.
Hope this helps
