removing hvac controls for switches

ok guys i have my center council out of the car now. ( for t5 swap) but its going back in and i had already removed my ac and heater so i have no use for the hvac controls. so i removed it. now im still haveing a stereo so i got that space filled. but what can i use to fill in the space where the hvac control was to mount my switches on. i think i heard soembody call it abs plastic or something correct me if im wrong. badically i just wanted a little piece of plastic matching the radio plate to fill in the hole. thats where im gonna mount my switches. where could i get something like that. hardware store?

Its just ABS plastic. If you really want it to match, look for the radio block-off plate from the 1LE equipped cars. You could easily trim that down to the size of the HVAC controls.

that would be a waste of a very rare part.. lol




you can get ABS plastic panels at any good hobby store.. they should have diffrent grain patterns... plenty look so close that they could be stock.
