Ashtray control switch panel

I would like to turn my ashtray into a control switch panel. I plan on using 3 small toggle switches, one for e-cutout, one for nitrous arm and one for purge or something else. Does anyone have a picture of this setup? I want the switches to be hidden under the flip door make it a stealthy look.

Edit: I'm not going to use the actually ashtray, I am going to remove it and make a custom metal plate that will fit in the place of it.

There are pics of mine on my website (red button)

1/8" Aluminum, Polished...

I just mounted 3 rocker switches in mine, I'm going to re-do it a little different with some other switches probably...

Right now it's wired as follows:

Red - Hood Intake LEDs
Yellow - Fog Lights
Blue - Line-Lock arming.

This is a pic of my old setup. There was a toggle switch for the nitrous arm, andother for the bottle heater, push button for the purge and the red led on it's own was for testing of the window switch. then I had a little toggle switch for the A/F gauge.

I bought that one, and I love it. Couldn't be more pleased. Left is arm, middle is purge, right is E-cutout (could also be used for warmer)

Keep the ideas and pictures coming guys. This thread is perfect, thanks for starting it santacruz163. I was just getting ready to start one about this myself. I am looking at adding switches for line lock, subwoofer line level controls, and possibly e-cutouts.
