Here are some pics of the swtiches in my car. Still have some work to do on my custom center console to get everything to fit together. Also I am thinking about redoing the switch console again as well.
Here is the console out of the car.



And here it is installed in the car



All of the switches don't work right now but eventually they will. They are mostly for scanner, 2 sets of fog lights, neon lights, voice box, front mounted camera and rear mounted camera. That is all that is hooked up right now but I am thinking of slimming it down a bit and moving some switches into an overhead console.

84customZ28, is that a blue digital display behind the shifter/pw switches? If so, what do you use it for and where did you get it?

here is a switch panel i made up, they really serve no purpose yet. They are not connected to any of my props I am making.

Sorry if the image may be to big.
Yes it is Back to the Future replica of the Time Circuit Drive Switch and control panel.
I plan on making me a custom part to fit between the air vents, and the center console for switches, that or a custom overhead console.
Edited for link error.

"wow, thats one obtrusive looking gizmo!"
That is the usual reaction.
Props as in the Flux Capacitor, Time Circuit display. Its a slow job, but at the time of making these things i got to make them temoprary. That way i don't hurt the car itself.

I will try to get some pics of my interior, but so far I have a butt load of switches.
1. Fuel pump cut off switch.
2. Fan switch.
3. Air/fuel ratio guage switch.
4. Red light up pedals switch (had to do those
)
5. Two remotes for two massage chairs in the car.
6. Two free switches for whatever.
7. TC lockup switch in progress (really see no purpose to it).
My plan with the switches.
I already have a paper thin press pad for 4 switches and its barely seeable next to my steering wheel.
However, I plan on installing a little motorized gate for my grille. Basically I have a custom cut off grille (ala nascar, same positioning) and I am thinking of putting a closed/open type of restrictor. When you press the switch the plastic moves out of the way for highway crusing.
Also, a NOS bottle is going into my spare tire compartment, so few switches for that too.
A lap top is going in, I am fabing up a little hideaway shelf for it.
I am very motivated and inspired by knight rider and its console. However, I do own a pro/am and want to make it really ONE of a KIND.
I wll get some pics on my website in few days. Till than check my Pro/am out at
