Dash bezel cracked

My dash bezel just cracked right underneath my radio!

I’m looking for a replacement in BLACK!

Does anyone here have one or can point me in the right direction to getting one???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is what I need but in BLACK!

Will be hard to find. I think the black only came in 05 models, and they crack the worst of any made.

Nah, superglue the crack back together as best you can, should be almost invisible. On the backside use 2 part JB Weld and reinforce it with some fibers or a piece of screen, paint it and done.

I maybe wrong, but I don't think there's any physical difference between a 2005 instrument panel bezel, and the previous years. I think it's just the color.

In an attempt to protect my instrument panel bezel while installing an iPod adapter, I put masking tape around the radio opening. When I removed the tape, it pulled some paint from the bezel. I ordered, and bought my Excursion new, so I know that was original. It was painted black, over black plastic underneath. I was able to repaint mine with some of the special SEM paint.

Well, I guess that was the long way of saying that I'd expect any Excursion bezel to fit...you'd need to paint it. When I painted mine, I was able to remove all the panels like the 4x4 switch, etc and put it all back together.
