It's not just on the HHR kit.

I'm making plans right now to install a carbon fiber panel there for switches (for my G-Tech and some interior LED's I'm planning to do).
If you want, I can talk with my carbon guy about making you a full carbon fiber panel to fit the area?
Let me know if that's something you'd want...

The switches up by the dimmer & airbag area, vents & hazard switch, AC knobs & switches below, and lighter & rear wiper controls are all black.
IMO what's bothering most people is that LINE where the dash kit and AC panel meets - it's kind of abrupt. If it bothered me, I would stop by the auto parts store and buy some paint to match. Not much of a job to paint the dash kit before installing it.
