I know a couple of the people here have switched to the newer DD bezel. I finally got around to picking one up. It was delivered yesterday so I took it to work today and played around with it some.
Most of us don't have a use for the buttons at the bottom and the one I purchased came without them.

It came out pretty good IMO, tomorrow I'll try to match the black. If I can't I'll have our interior lady mix some paint for me.

Its primed and guide coated at the moment. The back side is smooth so there won't be any interference issues either.

I was thinking of picking up a couple and tossing them in the marketplace. Not sure if the useless buttons bother anyone else like they did me. But anyway, figured I'd share.

Looks good! I just chopped the back of my buttons off so they'd fit but this is a much better solution

I just want to find a nice write up about how to stabilize the double din radio behind that new bezel. Don't want to hack up the openings and have a crooked radio. Have seen a ton of write ups, but no high quality solutions.

Instead of filling/body work route I went with just an overlay idea. I don't think it looks too far out of place although the clean buttons would clean it up a bit. Maybe one day but this was a quick fix for me. It has a brushed aluminum with engraved black SVT wording.

Looks great, OP! I did the same thing to mine, actually. Looks a lot better than the blank button covers
