How have you not brought this back to the shop that installed this? Completely unacceptable...

Looks like they decided to forgo the removal of the trim by starting on the glove box end and they just jammed a screwdriver in there to pop off the head unit surround.

You can get a replacement OEM piece on ebay for under $100. Have them pay you cash and go somewhere else. If they gave a car back to you looking like that I'd hate to see what they did with the actual wiring.

Wow. Didn't read what anybody else say, but do yourself a favor and grow some balls. Take your car back to the body shop, show them, & tell them that they're going to reimburse you for the trim piece after you replace it.
People need to be held accountable for their actions. A bodyshop is no different.
