i was installing a switch today and i didnt realize there's a metal piece behind it and I couldn't put the switch it. I am now left with a hole like this. Any idea what i should do to cover it up? how much is it if I buy the whole piece?

Ouch. That lower dash assembly is a good junkyard find part. The other option would be to cover that little section with some adhesive vinyl.

Finish and clean up the cut, find a switch that will fit the opening, gut it flat, (dremel it shallow so it fits)
install.

Serves no purpose other than camouflage.

^THIS^ or find a blank that will fit.

The plastic jack holder under your driver's seat should be the same color. Just cut a small rectangle a little larger than your unfortunate plastic surgery malpractice error and glue it over. It shouldn't be that noticeable.
