Default ash tray switch panel

Anyone know where I can find a nice switch panel to ge where my ash tray is(98 trans am) for a fan switch and maybe one other switch. It can come with switches or without. I did a search but mostly found nitrous setups. Thanks.

The NX switch panel would work. Yeah its made for nitrous, but it can power anything you want. All it takes is for you to wire power to the switch, and then the fan to the switch. Plus it fits in the cubby hole next the the cig lighter, and flows with the interior and imo it looks like it was ment to be there.

Default thanks

Those are some pretty nice pieces, are the rocker switches light up when active or not, and are they three position rocker switches or just 2. The fan switch requires a stock position, low, and high. I wounder if he would make one with just 2 rocker switches. Thanks for the info.

I made my own out of 1/8 inch sheet steel from Lowes 6.99 I have a template that I could outline and email to you if you want to cut out your own. It easy took about an hour from start to finish paint included. Pm me for pics if interested.

I had holes drilled into my ashtray for the linelock and low speed fan control switch then I am debating when/if I get nitrous putting the switches on the side of the seat, not really a sleeper look but very clean look.
