i dunno dude i think your a little stuck on that one, if you were going black then you could just swap with a black one but other then painting the whole thing white and not having any of the little diagrams, im stumped as well. but looks good. i think your the first peson to do white. that i've seen anyways.

That looks great man! I just ordered a black Climate Control Piece from eBay. At least that'll be better than the satin nickel. I'm going all black/red, so satin nickel FTL.

i painted my hvac thing, i just used really small tape pieces to tape of the important logos like the little blue and red circles(not the whole part, just the ends. And the logos for the the mode dial. basically any thing you deem important you can tape of with small squares of tape, then, use a white out pen to fill in the details. I painted mine matte black that way and it turned out fine. Also, if you only use 1 coat itl look good but then you can sortof see the dim glow from the backlit parts through the paint at night. Just remember to try and tape off as little as possible. otherwise itl just look stupid

for the HVAC ive seen carbon fiber decals you can buy... maybe buy one of those and paint it white? or just cut one yourself from vinyl but that'd be pretty tedious

I have this one
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1165610937533
and i LOVE it. By far the best head unit i have ever owned. Ipod use is flawless and a great EQ and functions that let you really get the sound you want.
