Replacing heated seat switch blanks..
 
Sorry fi this has been asked before, I looked around and did not find anything.

On my Nismo, which does not come with heated seats, there are three buttons in front of the cup holder that are blanks. It looks like this pannel can come out and replaced. Hoping for something looking better than the three blanks.. Maybe something factory or any other ideas would be great.

Please? :)

The blanks are there for accessories (i.e. alarm led, rear fog light switch)

Yeah, I want to take them out :( They look bad! If I ever install something I will just put them back.. I would like that whole pannel to come out and put something flat there, not just different blanks.

Any ideas? :)

I've seen plates with holes and fillers for the holes, even seen different switches to go in the holes, but I haven't seen a blank plate. That doesn't mean one doesn't exist, just that I haven't seen one.

If you can't find one specifically for a 370Z/Nismo, Nissan may use the same plate in different models. Find a hobbyist-friendly Nissan parts rep that will cross-reference for you, try e-mailing some of the online Nissan parts stores, or ask around on other Nissan model-specific sites (maybe some of the econobox fans install 370Z parts in the same way some 370Z fans will install GT-R start buttons; although I can't imagine a switch plate being very popular heehee) if you don't get an answer here.

Its a small thing but drives me nuts! Thanks for the information, I will see what I can come up with :tiphat:

Let us know what you find out. Post pics if you find something - someone else may like the look.

How do you replace the switches?

Pop the 3 blanks out, fiberglass over it, sand and paint. Or install heated seats and put in the factory switches.
