so i still have yet to hook up my spray, i have one line ran but havent gotten around to it yet because im waiting to buy HPT so i can tune the car for it and have to take care of a transmission issue, but will probably install it completely soon just not use it until i got everything good and ready.
but i made a switch plate for my nitrous kit, and its sitting in the cubby hole that is for the radio. i got it perfect on the left side but the right went a little bad, but its okay it turned out pretty good to me and you wont notice the crack once i have the plate locked in place and its all put back together. just have a little more work i gotta do and it will be done, will update once its finished.
plate before painted.

there will also be one more switch added on to it later im thinking, and on the end will be an oldsmobile sticker, cant wait for that. :)

Looks good, could have used a little more fine tuning on your plate. Hope its a wet kit....

Love the switch set up.. I was thinking of putting switches there as well if I should ever need additional switches in my car.

I like the idea....but poor execution. You'll know for next time though...you may want to even redo it, but I like what you got going! Measure twice...cut once...lol!

well it was kinda just making it straight after it was cut out and grinded a little to much off with the cutting wheel but oh well still got more of the speed limit sign i used and can easily cut out another one. but this one took long enough.
the spray is set for a 55 shot, its a dry kit.

Redo it with the proper amount of metal to fill the hole completely lol and leave it the raw finish! Making it black causes it to fight the console black color for blackness.

Looking to doing something like this in my Delta for line lock, fan switch, and maybe a train horn button :D

hahahahahahahaha that pic is funny, well i rather have it black cause nothing in my car is really silver so it wouldnt blend real well, and i didnt want it to stand out much. but in good time ill make another plate that will fill the whole thing. but im not to worried about it yet. lol

I do agree with C2 though, a better fitting piece of metal would be a bit cleaner look. that's a great spot for the switches though. :coolio:

Looks good. I hid a switch for my LEDs in the little compartment on the driver side underneath the air vent.

^ that was a thought to me as well for my underglow. and a thought for some of these. but i wanted them to all be together and that little spot wouldnt fit all these switches lol i like how it turned out though. might add a fan switch too so i can manually turn on the fans.

Looks good! the power swich to all my LEDs is where the ets swich would be, mine didn't have it so I just popped a toggle switch in place. Lol. I like your setup better though. Lol

Great idea! Just mount it securely and run some kind of trim around it, maybe even a steady handed fast drying silicone adhesive.

Great job man! Let's hope that you don't go to change stations in your car and accidentally purge the NOS or vice versa. :lol:

no its done, its siliconed in and everything. :) glad you guys like it and yeah the blue one is pretty bright the red one is okay. as for the bottle, its behind the driver seat. i took a piece of about 1.5 inch thick wood and mounted bottle brackets to it and it sits on the board behind the seat for easier access.
