The 2021-2024 ST has a gloss black dash "control bezel". I have a 2020, and using a 2023 VIN that I found on a salvage site I bought LB5Z-78042C74-CA. Indeed, it is a matte silver, and not the gloss piano black that I anticipated.

Does anyone have an actual part number for this piece?

Send a message to Benny at Levittown. I've heard that he is very helpful.

Trim Bezel - Ford (LB5Z-78042C74-AB) This might be what you are after!

Wow, thank you. I see that you have a 2020, based on your profile. Have you done this swap? Just want to make sure this is the right piece.

No, I went the silly easy route and added a Carbon Fibre style overlay from Amazon. Ford lists 2 part numbers for the Bezel you seek and one is silverish and the other is black. I would verify with a dealer prior to ordering if thats the route you take.

Got in touch with sales at Levittown Ford Parts. They told me to go with LB5Z-78042C74-DA
I'll update the thread once I get the unit in.

Very minor detail, but figure would add this here. The buttons in that area also changed. In 2020 they were matte, and for 2021+ they were silver.

I do think they look fine with the gloss bezel, but just something to point out as a minor difference.
