Hey, jay!
If you want the most EOM look as possible with a brake controller I would go with the Redarc part # RED65CR. The only thing that will be visible once installed is the control knob and that can be mounted anywhere on your dash. It also comes with a mounting panel so that you can mount it into one of the blanks on your dash.
I attached a few pictures below to show some options of how you can mount the knob. The last photo is how another customer mounted it in their 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
