Default Electric cut out

I'd like to install some electric cutouts on my 01 Hawk. This is my idea for placement of the switch. My car has traction control and I would like to order from pontiac the plate that contains both the TCS switch and the switch for a convertable top. I would like to use the switch that would normally activate the top for the electric cut out. Can this be done? I want to keep everything looking stock on the inside and didn't want an out of place looking switch. Thanks all.

If you really want it out of sight I would go for the ashtray mounting. Its what I did, and it worked great.

Mine's in the ashtray also. That way if for some reason you have to remove it, there's no visible holes anywhere. Works real good.

Seems to me like it would be a little hard to reach

I put mine right below the cigarette lighter. I'm keeping the space next to the tcs open for no2 in the future. I mounted my manual fan switch in the ashtray. I'd put it there if I were you, unless you smoke. Other wise people might look at you funny and ask, "This doesn't look like a 'vertable."

I like that idea of the conv. switch, does the plate say anything or have a pic on it that lets you know the switch is for the top? Guess it wouldn't be hard to get it off if there was. Nice idea though, I gotta keep that in mind.
