I don't know your level of skill regarding this but I would be very careful about modifying the front bezel on these radios and they can break in a dozen or so places very easily. I took one apart to paint the face of it and after getting about 3/4 of the way and snapping 3 tabs and resoldering a few things, I decided it was too much of a risk and not worth painting it so I put it back together while I still felt that it would work. Good luck with it though and make sure to show us picture if you get it done.
