Re: Ash Tray Gauges Or Switches
Why would you want to put something there,you have a fairly rare car,only 10,309 made,how many do you think are left.If it was up to me I would leave it alone.

Re: Ash Tray Gauges Or Switches
If you had some sort of pressing reason to require additional switches, then the ash tray is a great place to put them without changing the look of the car, but to put them there just for the sake of putting them there doesn't really make sense.

Can always get a spare ashtray from a junkyard car and modify that instead of the original so you can go back to stock any time you want.
