Then I think it's perfect!
As for final color. Personally, I prefer a satin black over a gloss, but it really depends upon the overall look you are going for. With your car being black on black and tinted (i think), the interior is a bit dark to the eye. Satin would blend into that well. Gloss may lighten it up a bit with some light reflection. All depends on you bro. Thoughts?

well..since i'm such a perfectionist went back and re-bondo'd the bezel and resanded it again... 
checking the fitment and finishing up the bracket,..had to finesse the fitment because i wanted to retain the monitor buttons..Everyone i have seen has removed or relocated them...well it fit great except for a minor issue but hey i'm happy...on to the next part... mac mini dock in the glove compartment...
