He took out the "Camaro" badge and put the extra switches in its place. Otherwise, I'd say use your ashtray, pop open your armrest and mount them in there, or make a panel and install them next to the cig lighter.
I hope he doesnt mind, but he has an awesome install!! click for DETAILED pics

Re: Switches- No Space? I just had a small switch panel built. It fits into the little cubby hole below my stereo. That plastic little box pops out of there, we widened the hole and did the following.
I went to a trophy/plaque shop and had a 3 3/4"X 2 1/2 piece of black brass cut and had it engraved on the bottom in black letters "GO-BABY-GO". Despite the small size it now has my NOS arming switch,bottle warmer and purge built into it. I used the really cool Rebco aircraft switches and this thing gets more compliments then any other thing on the car. I also put in red led lights to show system is armed etc. I wish I could post a pic on here, but I need to take some snaps of it first.

Re: Switches- No Space? I think I am going to run into that problem too, but I think I am going to put my TCS away and buy that 50 dollar SLP delete thing so I have that whole space to use for the NOS switches...I'm gonna need bottle heater, arm, etc, etc, etc <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: Switches- No Space? Use the sunglass holder cubby hole below the radio. Radio shack makes a box that fits in there without cutting the hole bigger. It comes with an aluminum face plate. I put my purge, Arm, Heater and Opener switches in there. I made my own cover for the faceplate on the computer. You do have to file the box slightly..
You can try cutting and pasting this link. Sometimes it works....
