I have the NX rocker panel switches. That is the way to go, i tried fabbing some switches in the ashtray and other places but the always got in the way of something. You can see a pic of the NX switches at Nitrous Wharehouses website.

Why do you need that many switches? The NX rocker switches will work your arming/disarming, bottle heater, purge and remote opener all with the three switches.

The NX rocker panel switches are the way to go. I put mine where the TCS switch used to be, it looks like it's a factory installed switch for a convertable top and just moved the TCS switch to the left side of the center console.

That's just ABS plastic. You can find some smaller sheets of it at your local fabrication/custom car stereo shop.

I'm curious about what he screwed it into though? Did you use backstraps or something?

Here is a pic of my NX panel, but it's located in the change holder. I would have put it in the ashtray but my line lock is located there.

IMO, That NX switch panel is a piece of SH*T. I went through two before making my own. Neither wirked and neither fit inthe hole without alot of slop. Whan I called NX, all they would say was, all the problems were with my car and my wiring. Hmmm, seems like they were wrong when i built my own and plugged into the same wiring. Besides that, I found that with either the Arm on or the bottle warmer on, the system would be armed. That was not cool. It would have sucked to have my warmer on and think I was safe and accidently spray. Do yourself a favor and build your own. Get a convertible swicth panel from the dealership for under $10 and go from there. guaranteed nice fit in either the ashtray or small cubby in dash.

More money than the panel, but pretty clean, go to dealership and get a ASR and Foglight switch and pigtails, (if you dont have the ASR and FL then get two each). Use the new ASR switch for purge( momentary switch only), and the new FL for the activation. Pop out the Camaro tag in the plastic trim around heater controls and wire it, looks like factory cuase it is. Need more than go with the panel or whatever. Us esearch button and look for NX install pics, forget the user who posted his pics, but we chatted and had the same setup nearly.

LUV2XLR8, I really like your switch panel! Is that a modified switch panel for the convertible f-body's? If not, let us know what you made that out of. Thanks
