Question Missing interior panels help

Alright guys so I recently bought an 03 track model 350z. I noticed a couple of interior panels missing. First: Directly next to the VDC button there is a hole in the panel. No wiring is loose in the area so I'm assuming its just a cover. Maybe in a different model an actual button would be there? Anyways id like someone to confirm what should go there. And if at all possible id like to replace the missing panel but i have no idea what to search for considering I don't know what it missing.



missing panel number 1

Second: I also notice the OBD hangs loose. It appears as though their should be some kind of panel that the OBD clips into here? Can someone confirm this? Like the last panel id also like to replace this missing panel. Any ideas what these panels are and how i can get new ones? Thanks everyone for any info.

Number 1 is a mask switch, Number 2 is a metal bracket.

Number 1 is the headlight washer toggle switch on european spec cars. Think it's just a blank on US/Jap spec Z's?

Thanks everyone who has replied. Everyone here is always nice and informative.

After some research I have found some more info. This is the part number for the OBD metal bracket i have found online: OBD2-UDBRKT can someone confirm this is the correct part?

In addition i also found a part number for the mask switch: 68492-AX000

The mask switch i found appears to be the wrong color unfortunately but its the best i have found so far. Someone confirm this is the correct part at least? just wrong color? If anyone has the part number for the correct color that would be nice.

Good to know im not missing anything important. Replacing the panels would be nice but i wont loose sleep over it. Thanks again everyone!

You could also put something like this in that opening next to the VDC switch:

Whoa, the switch placement is different from 06+, I was going to respond to answer but didn't know myself.

I'd throw in a Nitrous switch with 75 shots Zex behind me.

Neat item you've found there. Considering I've never even used the factory cigarette lighter to charge a phone or anything though I doubt I would ever use it. Makes me wonder what other kinds of things people have placed in that blank switch space. Bass control or light switch perhaps.

Id prefer my Z not to end up wrapped around a pole.

Nice idea. Only problem I'd be concerned about is the cord dangling over the st column or by the pedals. Maybe a short cord going up to a window mount phone keeper.

Or, just pull the plug on my in-car cam and continue to use the rear accessory socket if I need to charge my phone that badly.
