Default Overhead Switch Panel

Anyone have a switch panel in place of the key fob sensor and without a overhead console? Ive been trying to find some design ideas but im having no luck. My sensor is missing so I wanted something to fill that space without buying a new sensor because it be a waste of money, I don't even have a key fob.

It's about 2 in by 6 in. That's where the keyless remote sensor plate sat.

You could make a metal box in a few shapes to cover it.Or maybe hit the junkyard and find something factory that will cover it but offer you a place for switches.

That's a good idea... I'm making panels for the spot to the right of the gauges that's just a blank plate, but I've been looking for other spots to make them for...
I'm gonna see what I can come up with for there!

The only bad thing about that there is screws on one side and just a lip that sits above the headliner on the other. I wish it came factory with screws on both sides.

Kinda thinking out loud but what about this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Scosche-UDEB...-/331137533377 mount it over the hole and make you a switch plate to cover the radio opening.Or maybe throw a cb radio in it and put the switches on the lower part of the dash maybe console.
