Will this bezel fit without removing the cluster?

Yes. The bezel clips and bolts to the dash frame at factory mounting points — you do not need to remove the instrument cluster itself. Basic hand tools and about 15 minutes is typical for installation.

Does the textured finish need any prep or paint before install?

No. The bezel ships ready to install as-is. If you want to repaint or clear-coat it, light scuffing and standard automotive prep applies — but it's not required out of the box.
