Cover next to VDC button?

Where can I buy a spare cover/placeholder for that blank spot next to the VDC button? I want to drill mine for a switch for a little project I'm starting, but want to make sure I can return to stock at will.

Also I just dented the opposite front rim like 10 minutes ago. F**king pothole.

Dude ... I told you to trade me wheels. Poor wheels.

Try the dealer for blanks. They can't be that much. $10 max.

I don't know that any wheel would have survived the hit I took. It literally hurt my *** when I hit that sucker. Was barely doing 40. City of SD should pay for my wheel.

I'll check the dealer, don't know why I asked this. Silly question.

Me too. Probably going to get a new one for this side too eventually. It actually had chips from that accident. One's already on the way to replace the one that got bent the first time. The bull**** part is I didn't even see the pothole and I wasn't even doing the speed limit. In fact, I was specifically looking out for them.

On another note, along the lines of why I asked about this cover, any idea where I can find some detailed wiring info on the screen and touch panel?

If you hit a pothole that hard you should also inspect that sides's suspension. I don't know how it is in SD but in Hawaii the city pays for damage due to potholes. What sucks is that the while claim process takes about a year!

I'm taking the car in to finish my alignment tomorrow. They didn't have time to fix my front camber today, when they pull the wheels to adjust my ride height up in the front I'll have them look it over.

Damn San Diego roads are really that bad? Makes me not want to visit! Lol.

But yeah that damage from the bend the first time probably weaken the barrel a little bit causing it to bend again.

I'm working on installing a computer... I asked about the panel cover so I can install the switch required to toggle the video relays. Still need to make sure I can safely work with the touchscreen though. This is definitely the hardest install I'll probably ever have to do.
