Default Center Console - Where magnetic ride control button is. Options?

For vettes that don't have the selective ride control button on the center console, we are left with that half-oval piece of plastic. I don't like it, just doesn't look right. Does anyone know of an aftermarket replacement out there with a vette logo or something on it? Or some other creative option? Thanks...

Mount your N2O arming buttons there.

One option would be to put the 2008 trim piece on. I've heard it can be done, but you should confirm that as don't have first hand knowledge.

A plug with a logo would draw more attention to it's being a plug than just leaving it alone.

That's the perfect place to mount the button for the ejector seat modification.

FYI, I've heard the guys from GM call it the TOMBSTONE. Other then this I haven't seen anything to replace it or cover it up. Sounds like a good idea you have.

Just pick up a 2008 center console. They have eliminated the "tombstone" for 2008. Of course you will need to like the tech pattern simulated carbon fiber look. It is a direct replacement part for the 2005-2007 cars.
