Default Suspension control buttons after going to coils.

So I will be doing the air suspension delete on my 02' UL pretty shortly here. I hate having dead switches in cars, so I have been searching for a replacement panel that goes under the CD player that doesn't have the two cut outs for the "height" and "sport/normal" mode buttons.

Only problem is, I have they grey maple wood interior color, which is out of production, and I can't even get a new one through part dealers in Japan. The buttonless panel with the grey color combo WAS on a few CL models without the air, but as we know, those are rare as well!

My question for those who have done the conversion, is did you do anything with the buttons? I've done a little research into finding blanks that can snap into their place, and then adding USB plugs or something for phone charging, but I haven't found ones that will fit the holes yet.

Nope. It's my wife's DD and she has never mentioned the buttons. Shhhhh... 🤫

Haha! I like it!

I will just have to peruse around ebay for one of those panels to come up in my color from a CL model.

Unless I can find buttons that say "Ejecto-seato cuz" or something, which would be awesome!

Relabel one of them "Pass Eject". Wire it up so that when activated it opens the sunroof whilst counting down loudly from 10 to "FIRE". <ROTFLMAO>
Relabel the other one "Silence" and have it wired to a detector so that whenever the anyone speaks the car loudly says "SILENCE!" <LOL>

If my car was a total hooptie, I would actually consider that! Haha!
