Default Where to mount switch for QTEC

I have ordered a QTEC, and am wondering where to place the switch. I do not want any Radio Shack looking switches visible in the interior, and do not want to drill the ash tray. Is it possible to get the OEM TCS switch for a T/A and use that? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I've seen some people use the convertible top (or whatever) switch for those...not sure where to get one. I'm going to put all my switches (for q-tech, nitrous, or whatever else I will have in the future) in the compartment in the center console (I don't keep anything in there except my garage door opener)

I thought long and hard, but indeed put it in the ash tray. That way it's also consealed in case you get pulled over for too much noise. Just my .02

Mount it on the floor, so you have to work for it to turn it on chuck
