Does this switch panel look good? PICS

I already drilled the holes and mounted it I liked this spot when I installed it but now I'm starting to hate it lol. It's too damn big and bulky. What do you guys think??
Oh and before someone asks, the switches are for Nitrous activation, bottle heater, Purge, electric cutout, and electric fans.




*EDIT* Don't mind the gauge wiring going through the cig lighter hole, thats temporary lol.

**EDIT** I just realized my oil pressure was at 0psi @ 1800rpms wow!!

I think its alright. Might look better if it was as wide as the vent area. Would also look a little better now if you put a hole in behind the panel and ran the wires through there instead of having a visible wire loom.

If you could rework it so it extended from the bottom of the vents all the way down to the top of the trim around the HVAC controls it would look a lot nicer IMO.

I was thinking of figuring out a way to conceal it in the center console. Im thinking that would be badass and stealthy!

Re: Does this switch panel look good? PICS

i think the gauge comming out of the cig lighter hole would bother me more than the switch box.
im not a fan of either, but everyone has an opinion.
the box looks decent. its just not for me.

When i first got my 83 8 years ago someone had put a row of switches below the ash tray lid. I didnt even know they were there until owning the car for a few weeks i happend to lift the lid. I never did figure out what they were all for, one was a dome light override I remember but don't know what the other 4 did. I ended up removing it and all the phone lines they ran for wire when I re did my interior.

I should have just done my own custom panel instead of paying $90 for this stupid thing....ugh
