Default plastic material for switch mounting??

Ok, I have a few switches that I am going to put in my ashtray area. I will be taking out the ashtray and I need a piece of plastic that I can cut fairly easily to the correct shape. It doesn't need to be to thick or anything, just enough to mount a switch or 3. Anyone have any ideas on where I can get some plastic like this?

I've seen a few guys out there that have this set up that way. I'd ideally like something that matches the interior sort of closely, but not all that worried about it.

Thanks in advance.

Id say go to a junkyard and get a piece thats texture matches exactly off a camaro or bird. I wouldnt be able to deal with something thats not an exact match.
