I have mine mounted in the ash tray, just drilled a hole and put it up through there, it fits in there awsome and you dont even know its there. I ran the wire through a plug in the rear passenger floor board, under the carpet, and under the console, worked out great

Same here, in the ashtray with the nitrous arming and purge switches. Personally I think that is the ulitmate setup. Nothing is visible with the lid closed.

Mines on the side of the console, just in front of the seat, and on the side but just behind the shifter. Nice and stealthy.

put mine next to the TCS switch seemed like a good place and made less wire to run as I got the power for mine off the TCS pink wire.

I originally had my switch mounted in the ashtray by itself. Now I have the Jimmy Jam's nitrous switch panel where my ashtray used to be, and the e-cutout switch is on that panel too. Looks very clean.
