Just an FYI- these cubby holes were not Camaro specific.
Birds without TCS had the same cubby space.

It's a great place for a switch plate.

Switches can be used for cutouts, line lock, nitrous.

If you have any gauges besides the stock ones,
two gauges can be mounted there.

Remote controls for radar detector

Some people do Honda s2ooo push start buttons.

You can cover up the lighter hole with a eject button, always makes for good laughs.


You can also relocate 2 hvac controls and one in place of ash tray so you can use the original hvac panel space for a bigger double din radio.

If you can find square gauges, stack them up to make the center console like the new Camaro.

Lightbulb

For one thing, from your photo, you are missing the little rubber insert that makes that hole useful for pulling out little things easily like chapstick, nail clippers, eye drops, etc.

I use mine as a condom holder. I go through a lot since I double-wrap. You can never be too careful.

I have a formula without TCS. Can I install a factory TCS switch and wire it to a cutout? What would I need to do to install the actual switch, and would the switch even work for a E-cutout? Has anyone else done this? I would just like to keep stock appearance.

Thanks

I know someone has done this with the convertible switch in a Trans Am.
