Default Power top & TCS switch cover

I need the small plastic cover plate with 2 holes for the switches for the power top and the traction control. This cover is located at the front of the console next to the lighter. I don't need the switches, just the cover. I would take one from any year, they should be similar. I don't care about the color. Here are a couple part numbers:
earlier gray ones: 10280511
later ebony: 10411285

Thanks GR8RYD, but the convertible bezel is no longer available and none of the dealers stock it. It was $17 part if you can find a proper vert one NOS in the wrapper I'll give ya $35.

Once I install my console, I'll see if I am going to reuse mine. If I don't, I will let you know. I am thinking about installing the switches on the side of the console(did that in my firebird convertible before).

Default If your very lucky!

I missed one on Ebay a year or so ago. Auction was for complete console but all I wanted was the plate. He offered me the plate seperate for $35 and like a dummy I didn't take him up on it. I think the complete console went for just over $100.

^^Thats the problem^^ When one is for sale there is usually a console attached.
One of us should figure out a solution i.e make a bezel. But out of what? I have some stainless stock, some aluminum stock, copper stock, though copper would look like crap.
Any ideas?
I just did a black trim screw with a metal plate retainer for temp.
It looks crappy but it is better than leaving the bezel hanging out.

How about twisting 6LEs arm into making replica replacements that are resin transfer molded? Or what about someone that makes plastic molds? B/c if thats the case, than you could get a plate with anywhere from 1-3 switch holes. Top, TCS, extra switch for activating something like an exhaust cutout or etc.

It will only help those with one hole, but that will not work for us with two, I have a bunch of those too.
