I put my line lock switch in the ashtray, just popped it out and drilled a hole. Unfortunately as I was drilling, the bit caught the ashtray that was in the vise wrong and shattered it. Ooops. I glued it back together and it works fine to hold the switch, but someday I'll get a new one. I have thought of getting a tcs switch and panel and using it (since I don't have traction control)

i shaved my center console so i can't put any in the ashtray but i also removed the front cubby hole in the anticipation of someday having nitrous or something. for my neon switches i made a black plastic piece right in front of the center console. you can kinda see one on the pass side picture.
