I think he means the black plastic doesn't bend when you press a switch, like a cheap thin piece would.

Ha ha. I should post the original SW panel i made with my gaudy-awful stickers made at my work, then your stickers in a few different versions which were an upgrade for sure, then the 1st custom Beer panel for the Z06. We would see the progression from start to finish, with the finished product leaps and bounds from the original (which I still have, lol).
