Default Nitrous switches location

Has anyone blocked off their 4 ac ducts in their console bezel and put in guages or switches? Basically, I have 4 things I want in there. Line Lock, Nitrous purge, Nitrous activation and bottle heater.

I quickly photoshopped a basic idea I had.(yeah, I suck at it but I just got back from wrist surgery so you'll have to accept it)



Anybody have anything close to this, or if you've done it, anything special I need to do there. I plan on somehow blocking off the ac duct in that area so as to not get the electrical connectors moist and stuff.

actually last night i was sitting in my car and i thought about this... I figure i can get 4 switches in there with only removing 2 ducts. I dont think you would want them spread out toooo much. I was thinking it may be cool to stick a nitrous pressure gauge or somthing up there too.

If I had a later C4, I'd put mine in the same center location...but mine are here...
Main Arm Switch


Activation (Momentary) Switch

It's quick and dirty..but gets the job done.

I've seen a C4 that simply had 4 round gauges built-in, instead of the 4 AC vents. It looked "hot" and I'm thinking of doing the same I'd put the Nitrous switch and purge someplace where you don't have to reach too far.
