Looks good hidden. I am going to remove the ash tray and cut off the faceplate. Then I will make a cut out in the ash tray face plate for the switch panel to go into. Then I am going to reattach the faceplate to the dash. If I do it right, then it should look really nice with my otrattw switches. I will post pictures of my install.

Default power mirror switches and wiring tools

Just got some new tools and switches. I am going to put the six switch panel in place of my ash tray. I plan on removing the ash tray and cutting off the ash tray front panel that matches the dash. I will cut out a hole for the switch panel to fit in and then replace it where the ash tray was. It should look close to oem. I will also be moving my current light switches to this switch panel and putting the mirror switches in place of my current switches by my head light switch.

Default switches in ashtray

I removed the ashtray completely.

I used velcro on the ashtray cover and brackets to be able to remove for wiring and future switch adding.

Default iPad Navigation

I also added a ram mount for my iPad Air to use as navigation for on and off road. I am still playing with a few off air maps to use for backroads or off roading. I also have a

to link to my ipad. (Its the red circle thing behind my ipad)

The switches look great mounted in that spot. I also like how the switches have an f150 on them

Damn the switches came out clean! I like the ram mount for the iPad. Leadnav is the app that all the racers use for off-road races. When did you get the ottratw switches? Everything is sold out on their website right now and I need switches bad lol.
