Nice.. always wondered why people would ash in their cars and not out the window. switch panel seems like a much better option

I woulda built a switch panel --in-- the ashtray so when it was closed everything looked stock, and when you open it *Bam* instant coolness.

It's a little tight, but certainly something you can overcome fairly easily.

Hey.... The tighter the better, right??

Here's a stupid question (given the thread name)- What is the benefit(s) to having a kill switch?
