Is there any place that sells a silver faceplate for a non exorbitant price? Got a gba micro a few years ago for 10 bucks on a gamble it didn't work (it did). Just want to have the screen protected and prevent dust from getting inside. Thanks!

Nope
 
AliExpress and online stores like that have them, but it's completely unreliable, shipping damaged products or even not shipping anything but keeping the money and so on... I highly suggest you just find a place where you can 3D print one, it shouldn't cost more than 2-3$.
 
eBay is your best bet, but there are quite a few different versions on the market now, and half of them suck.
If r/Gameboy is anything to go by, you'll want to use either the ones that RoseColoredGaming designed or the newest (chrome) ones that have rounded corners at the edges of the screen.
 
I ordered one from Aliexpress and it doesn't fit as good as OEM. And it also wasn't brand new it had some hairline scratches on it. For a couple of dollars it may be worth it but don't have high expectations. Also, they're branded as "Ninfendo" which I found to be hilarious.

Better to make and sell knock-offs rather than face Ninty's legal department I guess:P
