You mean a place for extra switches?
I would say buy the OEM rear foglight switch from Europe, if you still need more you don't have to FG anything man, buy a toggle switch, drill a hole. simple as that.
In the center console thing, there's that angular piece (the first one), not the triangle and not the coin holder, but the other one..I put a switch there, it's very subtle and fits perfect, looks cool too, but not ricey.

the pocket thing that is stock for that opening, i sanded it down to allow for the extra clearance of the sheet of cf. then i epoxied the cf to the pocket, and stuck it in there.

personally, I would not make it flush.. it would look better slightly indented.
When I put my drawer in the console, believe it or not, I used plastic wood putty to fill it in and smooth it out. Once it is painted, it looks great.
