Angry Woops...Drilled Hole In Wrong Spot

...So today i installed my 12'' Neons under the Drivers side and Passanger side. We got a fuse tap into the sunroof thing wired it all up nice and good got the switch hooked up and set up the switch so when its flicked on it completes the circuit by giving it a ground...and i put the switch in the little pop out cubby thing on the drivers side to the lower left of the steering wheel...well we go to put the thing back in..and it doesnt close. Switch was in the way...So we had to take it apart and drill a hole on teh back top part of the thing and put the new switch (we busted the other oen takin it off and had to run to autozone) in there. So now it looks like this.






so my question is what can i do to fill in that damn hole so it doesnt look like ****? im going to be putting another switch right next to that one for my undercar neon kit in teh future but how can i patch or what can i put in that empty ass hole so it looks good.


(BTW My neons came out perfect, only had to drill one little hole into the plastic to mount em the rest was ziptied and you cant even tell tehy are there untill they are turned on

A little piece of black rubber to fit the bottom will cover that.....just glue it into place.

Bondo then is the only way to go. You would not notice the hole if it is covered with a rubber piece though.

Don't take your car to the stealership, test drive it to your car.
