    What are these two parts called? I want to drill holes for switches and whatnot, but I want to buy a few spares in case I change my mind after the fact. This is a 2wd so no second stick, if that helps. Interior is dk grey even if it looks tan in the picture...

    They should pop right out. if you're putting switches in, good chance you can find some factory switches to use.

    Yep, switch blank knock outs.

    That entire piece is held in place by the dart pins on each side. Push the center of the darts in to make them release.

    Once those are out, you need to unplug the power ports.

    What switches would've been there originally? I may have seen a picture on here one time but I can't find it again...

    This is what I ended up doing to start out with. Thanks for all Your input! I took an unexpected trip to the junkyard and picked up a few switch blanks so I wouldn't have to drill into mine, but if I find a few online in my grey color Ill order them just to have.
