Love my new window switch plate
So, I have an 87 TA, with a 2002 TA console in it (cupholders ftw...)
But what about window switches? This is what I did, using the stock "pen spot" or whatever it's called, and making a steel plate to fit.
Here's finishing the plate, using a flat bastard file to finish out the holes, and the finished product installed in the car.
Opinions? (I'll be putting the power mirror controls under the ashtray lid at some point)
Edit: Just saw the picture is sideways... -.-

Where did you put the power mirror switch (if equipped)? That slot is where I put mine.

And thanks everyone! I was absurdly pleased with how well it turned out.

I did the Taurus window switches in mine. When I was looking at mine, I couldnt get the mirror switch to fit in the ashtray, would be interested to see how it is done.. Love the originality people do with these types of mods.
