Question QTP Switch pics?

I'm sure this subject has been beaten to death, but searching I couldn't find what I was looking for at all! Few ?'s:

1. Where did everyone mount their switch? I have a 99' LS1 M6. Pics would be great.
2. I know you can buy different switches from local auto parts stores, but doesn't the QTP one have a like plug on one of the wire ends?

I'm really not trying to cut my console or other pieces up badly just to install a switch so pics would be great help!

Thanks!

It's a switch from Parts Express. I chose it because I liked how low profile it was and the fact that it blended in.

There is a write up somewhere on here where you put the switch on the side of the driver seat. It looks quite simple to put it there.

I would put it where my convertible switch is (I suppose where your change holder is?) under your radio.

There is a rubber gromet you run the line through on the pass side. Drill a hole run the wire under the carpet to the center console. Take off center console and run it too the ash tray so no one c.an see it

That's the plan right now since I don't use the ashtray anyway and I rather cut up a cheap piece to replace rather than an entire console

Emblem Pros makes some, so do some nitrous vendors. Just look around. I've seen some pretty cool ones.

Actually, I did not select this location of my own free will. The previous owner drilled a hole there before I bought the car and the hole has sat unused for years so I killed two birds with one stone. I just had to make the hole a tad bigger to run the switch I wanted.

That's where mine was. Worked out great.
