I assume you must have a ssv/ppv? if so then you just need the dic switch and then make a cut in the trim piece to fit it in. the plug is there already.

On eBay you can find some of that trim with the button installed, or just the used trim without a button. But almost all the trim on there is not going to match the plane silver of your SSV.
A lot of them from what I remember seeing were wood grain.

I did exactly what @RooTBeeRthe1st mentioned. I paid about$60 for the wood grain piece with DIC already there, then sprayed it flat black.

I cut mine, but messed up too much of the silver finish so I wrapped all of it.

I went with the wood grain myself...The console had wood grain so I did it all matching....Looks decent with the silver bezel accents.
Did the same, got a wood grain DIC hole and threw in a few other wood grain pieces so it all tied together. My DIC looks good in there. Do you want to see a DIC pic?

I feel dirty if I say yes and a prvde if I don't....Must be cuz your a sexy beast! :happy175:
Unsolicited DIC pics in the link below.


I basically left the brushed aluminum vents on each end, but replaced the larger lateral piece on the passenger side, along with the radio bezel. It breaks it all up nicely IMO, and looks like it could have come this way off the line.
