Default Black Switches and ***** in Trans Am

Hey guys,
I had a Camaro for a while before it was stolen, and now I have a Trans Am.
The only thing that I don't like about the interior of the Trans Am is the gray switches and *****. I was wondering if anything was interchangeable or if there is a kit to change the switches, *****, and steering wheel remote control to black.

If by switches and ***** you mean the headlight and AC switches you can just paint them. I had black ones in my Camaro and sanded them, fiberglass resined them, painted them, clear coated them. Look awesome.

I also want to do the switches on the doors, but I don't want to lose the symbols and stuff on them.

I remember seeing some black ***** in the HELP! isle that look like the Firebird's HVAC *****. It says that they are for a Honda, but they might fit, I don't know.

like gauges or what do you mean? you can put camaro gauges in your T/A use the bezel and get LEDs to your color preference and have matching everything. I just but blue in my HVAC to contrast the red in everything else plus since I'm in florida I only use the cold **** on the HVAC so blue makes sense haha.

I mean like the switches in the door for the windows, the light controls, steering wheel remote control, etc.
