Help me cover my hole
 
What's up folks?

6 months ago I installed my BlackVue dashcam and hardwired it into my Z, and couldn't be happier with it, but lately something has been bugging me out.

I did a little tiny hole on the driver's side so I could easily reach the Power Magic Box (the thing that allows the camera to record while parked) to turn it on/off whenever I needed it.

Now, every time I open my door and look at that monstrosity, I want to hit my head against the wall.

Need some good ideas from all you fine people on how do I make this look less shitty.
Maybe if I put some kind of rubber thingy like the one on the doors/trunk? What do you guys think?

Carbon fiber sheet
 
I'd use a piece of carbon fiber sheet to cover the hole.

Contact ZCFcovers. They may supply you with a piece that has adhesive backing to cover the hole.
Look good too.
PM me if you need a contact.
ZCF is on Ebay

know of anyone with a 3d printer? Could print out a cover pretty easily.

Maybe some kind of grommet with access door would work too. Not this particular one but you get the idea.

You're still using the hole to turn the switch on and off? If no, you could always order a new kick plate

remount magic box under the steering wheel so you can easily reach it, get new kick plate

Go to a junkyard and try to look inside the vehicle they have I bet you can find a similar piece and with a little patience you can actually fill it, just like if you have a hole in your drywall, I did a similar "small hole" on my Civic and fixed it that way, not even the dealer that I traded the car could tell. Next time my friend plan ahead and research before you do any cutting, like fingers these do not grow back :driving:

That was kind of a crazy way to mount/access that.

We all do crazy/stupid sh*t on occasion. JC took a Sawzall to his Z's roof so he could fit... or so they say..

Hold my beers, watch this.

Shouldnt be hard to rewire the button to a switch in the center console. I run almost all of my aftermarket on/off power stuff through there.

Just buy a piece from a yard or members parting out their interior pieces. Glassing is too much work unless you sanding therapeutic.
