Wood trim question

Did a wood trim piece for the 123's for the dome light, defrost, sunroof, etc switches ever get made with only two slots for switches? I have one with 4 holes, but I want one with only two since my 240 only has a defrost and dome light switch. I'm converting all the black plastic to wood. Also anyone have links to new wood trim pieces?

I've never seen zebrano switch panel with just two cutouts.

You could always use extra switches for other things. Time to get creative...

I've thought about putting LED strobes in my corners or something. Aux fogs below the bumper or something.

Another idea is to have a black plastic plate with some sort of retainer made to hold a momentary push button and wire in a garage door opener. I know when I had my MK4 VW GTI without seats warmers, lots of guys would drill out the blanks and hard-wire in their opener's PCB.

You might try ************************. They have a lot of the wood trim stuff. Not sure about your part, but they do have the wood trim and a lot of variations of it. Good luck.

I Just got a catalog from these guys - www.rockler.com and they sell zebra wood. If nothing else works you could make a new piece. If they have veneer then you could glue it directly on the black plastic piece and cut out the holes with an exacto knife.
