Cool F-body switchplate progress - new prototypes!!! Check'em out.

Okay, we have done some redesigning on our ashtray plate for better fitment, and overall look. We have also went to a lower profile momentary switch for the purge - this helps with any clearance problems we might run into.

We also made switchplates for the cubby hole area that you guys wanted. We made one with and without a cigarette lighter provision. If you want extra switches in it's place, we can do that. This will require that you modify your console tray.

We have provided some quick examples of backilighting seen below. Keep in mind these were backlit with 1 LED. I would suggest that you use several for LEDs to get everything backlit to the same degree. This will be the customers responsibility. I just make the plates and provide switches.











Here is our new ashtray switch for the auto cars. It has newer, lower profile switches, and the fonts are all the same type and size:





Cubby hole area with lighter provision - these letters are colored red; not backlit red:







This is the same panel, but eliminates the lighter. I put a cool looking skull there, but you can place extra switches there if you'd like. Extra switches will cost extra:





Just so you guys know, I have thousands of graphics I can place on my items now. These include girls, demons, skulls, etc. Also a good thing to note - I can make these switchplates in a variety of colors - not just the silver mirror acrylic as shown. I can do these in black, red, blue, all mirror if you'd like, and even stainless steel. These will have to mount with 3M tape. Pricing is looking about $50 for one with 4 switches, but that is prone to change slightly. These will be for sale within 1 week if all goes according to plan.

Let me hear what you guys think.

Also, these are custom labeled for whatever you want the switches for. If you have an actual switch you'd like to use, you'll need to send it to me, or give me exact measurements to the thousandth of an inch. If you send it to me, I promise I'll make it work with my panel. These things are SWEET! I almost wanna get a nitrous kit now!

I was thinking of making a backlit nose emblem with a demon skull that purged nitrous from it's mouth - that would be badass

Lettering can be done in any standard color you like, or I can leave the lettering uncolored, and you can backlight them.

I'll honestly probably forget. I have a lot on my mind everyday. I'm a senior at UK in business administration, have a newborn baby, a wife, and I run this business everyday. I juggle many roles everyday, and I tend to be forgetful sometimes. However, I always update the masses on this board when new products are available. Just try to keep an eye peeled - you will not be disappointed.

I just realized I put bottle warmer and bottle heater on my mock-up plates. Now that is funny. I have no idea how I did that. :0

I will supply the switches. I will only offer the 2 types shown so I can streamline production. If you have a particluar switch you would like, you will need to send it to me and I will implement it into the panel provided there is enough space for it.

would it be cheaper if I got one with just 2 switches and a purge button?
