Default Switch panel mod - pics!

I'm sure this has been done before, but here is my version.
I removed the factory SS plaque and replaced it with an Afterthoughts plaque with updated HP & TQ numbers, I relocated it to the passenger side airbag panel, it covered up the word AIRBAG perfectly. I ordered an ASR, SGS & another foglight switch and just snapped them into place. The second foglight switch will control the halo ring on the halo headlamps, the ASR will control the power antenna, and the SGS will be my garage door opener. It all looks factory perfect, nice clean mod.

Just drilled a hole and mounted the switch, it did not sit quite flush, so I had the hole machined until the switch sat flush.

The SGS is for the garage opener, so SGS now means,
Signal Garage Sensor
