Default Looking for best ashtray switch plate

I have seen one from HSW and Nitrous Outlet. I want 4 switches total, Arm, Heater, Opener, and Purge. What is everyones experience with fitment and quality. I don't want a cheap plate that the buttons feel mushy and the plate is like a plastic piece just sitting there. Post up what you got and what you recommend. Thanks I am a M6 if fitment is any different in the ashtray also.

I kinda like that emblem pro's one, being as I can label each whatever I want and make it any type of switch I want for the same price I would pay for a N/O or HSW plate.

It arms the nitrous system, purge and line lock. 4th button was for a bottle opener but I replaced it with another toggle although Im not using it. I have a Nano so I dont use a heater and the bottle is right next to me so I dont use an e. opener
Plate seems nice and sturdy works great.
I also think N/O could prob get you a blank panel or label them for how ever you want if you call them.

The nitrous outlet one is pretty nice quality from what I can tell. Aside from those little red momentary purge switches are garbage, that's not Nitrous Outlets fault that's just how those things are all made. I'm looking for a different solution switch wise for that but haven't had any ideas that fits under the ashtray cover.

If you're crafty you can make your own... heres one i made from CF for my car...





And then closed




It required a little bit of trimming of the plastic underneath.

Our switch panel is unique in the fact its a two piece design. It works just like the factory ashtray. The base part of our panel is notched on the sides just like the ashtray is. This is noce for the fact it locks in and does not pop out and flop around. The fitment is awesome.

What problem did you have with the purge button
We use them all the time. Its the best I could find and be that tiny.
