Default Pictures of your switches

Where do you guys have your light switches, back up switches, sub, amp and all that?? I am looking for a cool place to have my switches. I know some people put them where the clock is but i want a designated area for my toggle switches. Has anyone fabricated anything cool for your toggle switches? Or does anyone have any idea's?
Pics pics pics please!
Thanks

When i get the cash i plan on adding subs lights and a bunch of stuff in which i want all on power switches. You dont have to be the person who made it but would like to see pictures of something someone fabricated for their switches. I don't want one switch here and one switch there. I would like to have them all in one designated spot.
Thanks much

I am putting mine where the clock would have been, I dont like how it is turning out but it will due to now. I dont like the switches I am using but I already had them. Will redo it later....

You could also make a box/panel and mount them between the visors.

I'm not paying that much for a rocker panel lol!
Looking to make something out of sheet metal. Has anyone seen that? I seen a cool panel someone made before but cant find the picture. I am looking for something custom. I don't really want to put them on the center console or dash.

Do it this way. Just take the back off and pull out the jack and built your own multi-position switch.
