New they are around $300 and used they are around $125.

I noticed that the trim piece around the CIC that it has that same stupid rubberized crappy paint and it was peeling off. so i, stupidly scrubbed it off and didn't notice that I was taking that same crappy paint off the switch covers as well.
I picked up the switch covers from the amazon in my previous post. they are covers that co over the switch covers and are installed with a double sided tape. The forward buttons fit and look OK but the rear 2 buttons are a little to tight and do not stay attached. i imagine if I removed all the crap rubber paint from all the switches and did a little trimming and either super glued them or epoxy they would work just fine. or I might just paint over the OEM switch covers deal with them not having the illuminations.
