You can purchase the switches out of a Rubicon or Sahara and they come with more stock switches of this same circuit board. You would just use one of the switches on the Rubicon version of an options you don't have, and paint over the image or put a sticker over it.
I personally like the stock look.

You can fine the switch Module on E-bay (it is not cheap).

That's a good idea, depending on price to me at least.

I wired mine to the stock a-post cover using OTRATTW horizontal switches. Looks almost factory and super clean. I get nothing but compliments...everyone loves the little Jeep pictures

My switch is one of the unused slots of the stock pod.

Have used 2; one for light bar and one for KC windshield spots.
