Default Need quick help with stereo

I can't find what I need, but I'm looking for the piece that goes around the stereo to make it look better. I have this but it doesn't seem to fit right or look much better.

No, came with an install kit I bought a year ago. I transferred this radio from my ranger, so anything that came with the radio is as good as lost. Seems that the kit I bought was a waste. My stereo has been sitting half out for a year, and today I was looking at it and thought, well it looks like the stereo just fits in with its sleeve. It was a duh moment for me.

Mine sits in there with two L brackets. I had to flip them around so it would sit flush with the dash
The guy who put it in before me put the brackets on backwards lol. And completely destroyed the radio wiring harness

I don't think you can buy them seperately, unless you can find a stereo shop, they might have some laying around
