Squarebody Syndicate 2 Dash Trim Detail

If one wanted to recreate the aesthetic of this dash and all its glory, specifically regarding the passenger dash trim:

1) I can't find Panel Molding with the aluminum surrounding the panel that butts up to the leather wrapped dash. Does anyone have any insight as to how SS does this on their dashes? If you look close at the leather around the trim panel it looks like there's a substantial piece that's been added on top of the standard aftermarket part. Just looking for any insight here from anyone?

2) On the build page of this truck (here on the forums) there's a single image of wood work being done in the shape of the wood insert but no real dialogue about it that I could find. I'm wondering if this USA1 panel's "faux wood" feature be removed so a custom sanded and router'd real wood piece can go back in its place. Does anyone know?

I believe it might be an OEM dash bezel trim. Below is the picture of my Cheyenne dash trim bezel when I re-did my dash.

Ah, you are right. After I post I realized the stock trim has the outer trim "silver" whereas all the aftermarket ones do not. maybe SS wrapped it in a darker wood "effect" film...hopefully someone on here knows and will chime in.
