I had a ashtry switch and did not like it so I made this one. What do you think? I might re-do it. I should of ground the plate down and painted it. The layout of the holes were off also. I used a dremel tool to make the holes large enought. If I had the right tools I could do much better but I think it will work for now. The plate also does not stay snapped in.

I would dump the big colored switches and just do black, but hey that's just me and if you like it that is all that really counts. Though outside of colors it's a top notch job imo.

Its way better than my first effort !
Check with the GM dealer, and see if you can buy that insert (I bet ya can, it it would be anywhere from $15-35). See if you can get one without a logo Maybe the compare the Camaro one ? They can order both, and you leave with the one that works.
Switches I was using the Radio Shack Momentary (Red or Black), and the Walmart LED Rockers (Red/Blue/Amber, sometimes I come across a Walmart with Green). Each of the Holes are 1/2" for those switches.
LOL if your not careful, the panel may become an Obsession!

1/2" switches would make it easier.

why not have it flipped the other way though as the pontiac logo is upside down?
