Switch suggestions/ pics

I am looking for suggestions or pics of different switch setups that people have going. I have switches everywhere in the car at the moment and I am ready to consolidate because its really bugging me having it so unorganized...

So here we go:
Electric Fan
Electric Water Pump
N2O Electric Fuel Pump
Nitrous Arm
Bottle Warmer
Purge

I am looking at the painless setups but they seem awefully spendy for what you get. I mean seriously, 6 fused switches for right around $150.00???

I know there have to be some people on here with a lot of switches in their car, any way to make it look clean?

Just in case someone mentions it, the E-fan and E-wp need to be on separate switches so I can run either at my will in the pits or whatever. Thanks guys

I might maybe its just my switches that bug me... I might go to a black panel with black switches. I really like the painless stuff but holy crap they want a lot for their stuff, even the non fused switch panels...

since mines a vert, i dont want switches visible... matter of fact, i dont even want anything to look "not stock". if people pass by the car with no intrest, then my job is done...


mines a 91, so the dash is a lil diffrent, but im using low profile black rocker switches and buttons on the left side of the dash... on the SIDE of the dash...
putting them between the door and where the dash sticks out works pretty good... i can easily reach them, even strapped in, and noone can see them unless i point them out.

you could do the same there, on the other side, and even on the sides or under the vent "box" in the center of the dash.

I would get a peice of textured ABS plasitc and cut it out to fit where the radio is supposed to be and get a series of small black rocker switches and mount them there and then print out some labels. I think it would look pretty clean. I bought a 3'x3' peice of plastic a few months ago for $13 online somewhere when i was planning on flush mounting my radio with a custom "fit kit" thing. If you want i'll look up where i got it and give you the link next time i see you online.
