Ok this is just stupid, can someone stop my agony and tell me how the fuck you style google's custom search with CSS?

I can find all of the elements I want to change with firebug obviously, but any changes I make are overridden by google's external style sheet... in their control panel, you can change colors, and fonts.. but no sizes, margins, padding, etc.

Also, I found that I can put a <style> tag below the JS where the search box is inserted and it doesn't get overridden, but I'm pretty sure that's just haphazard sloppy coding.

I'm clearly missing something here.

Yeah, that's great for bg colors and such, as far as I can tell there is nothing in there for sizes and margins.

*also reason I need to change size is because the input box and the button itself are both too large (both in height and width) for the area I need them in.

edit 2: I should also mention, that that the css files are being referenced on the fly with JS. There are no external sheets in the <head> for google, otherwise I could just change the order.
 
Thanks for asking that Russ, and answering Sinister....
I have been to lazy to style mine but needed the intel on it so I can..
