Default Custom OTRATTW Switch panel

I got bored and decided to do this little project because I was looking for a good switch location for my front light bar and my rear backup lights and Like many others i didnt really want to cut into the dash and i also like the front console cubby and wanted to maintain that for whatever i feel like putting in there.

I used a OTRATTW 3 switch panel, and 3 switches. The AUX switch is empty for anything i might want to use in the future.

I basically epoxied it in place between the little change holder, found some wood at a hobby store i cut out to the the console so that no wires will be seen. Then i got some 2 part polyested glazing finishing putty to smooth it out then primer filler/sealer/painted it with acrylic enamel and voila!!

That's awesome. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out where to put some switches and that's perfect. I too cannot live without that cubby.
I wanted to do headliner, but realized that with my moon roof I don't have the room for the switch panel like the user who posted his pictures here somewhere. That and I'd rather not ruin an entire headliner for a couple little switches

I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea in the coming weeks.

I had one made from a company called gauge plates. I only lost the little change holder, but I kept the cubby to the right. Plus its illuminated.Name:  photo3_zpseb993fd0.jpg
