locations for hiding...

ok, did look around, Search function FTL.

Anyway, as far as hidden systems go, the bottle, the solenoids, thats easy. But I have not seen anyone address REALLY hiding the switches and gauges! In the ashtray is the common answer...... please.... anyone bumps the lid and you're secret is out.

I need to hide some switches and teh pressure gauge (also smallest ones possible) somewhere where u won't accidentally stumble across it. Say for instance someone were to drive my car.... and its imperative that they don't find the switches.


ps, is this section run by the LT1's? A huge amount of the posts are all LT1 related and almost nothing for the LS1.

Fog light switch for activation, steering wheel radio controls on the left for push buttons for the stages, on the right for the purge(or the cruise control set button), dynotune square guage could be mounted inside the middle vent and would be only lit up with the activation switch turned on so it wouldn't ever light up if someone was just driving your car so they wouldn't notice it.

On my tbss I had two 10lb bottles hidden in a cooler in the back, the rear wiper switch had 3 settings(speeds) and a push button for the water sprayer on the rear, which I used it as the purge. We set it up so when I turned the switch from "0" to "1" it opened my bottle via a remote opener, turned on the bottle heater, lit up the guage(dyno tune square guage mounted just above my mirror, very few ever saw it and i always played it off as my wideband guage), when turned the switch to "2" it would turn on the 1st stage, which wouldn't spray until wot and inside the window switch via my maximizer II progressive controller. Then "3" was for the 2nd stage, but we never put it on there because I didn't know how much power I could make off the stock fuel pump.

i don't have steering wheel controls.

Could i still use my foglights though? I don't want to give them up. Same question for the cruise control.

Pull the wiring from the fog light switch and use jumpers to wire it on, then toss that into the back of the dash area. Then use the actual switch for your arming.

yep fog light switch, or if you dont have traction control, get the switch from a dealer and wire the arming to that.

the horn has been used before as well. as far as where to mount the gauge, you can go with a sqaure dynotune gauge, which is what i have for N20 Pressure and Fuel pressure, mine are mounted on the gauge cluster in front of the factory fuel gauge, no body smart knows what they are and you dont catch them unless you look directly at the whole cluster, but for you, i would say you can toss one of those suckers anywhere, on top of the rearview mirror, inside the sun visor, so you flip it down and tada. center console is a choice for the gauge. if you dont want someone to find it who might be driving your car, that will be tricky, but just to hide it from someone glancing into your car from outside, that is cake. you can cut the console a bit and fab up something to that stupid cup holder that swings out by the passengers legs. no body ever really knows theres a cup holder there, so if you could figure out how to mount a gauge and fit it in there to swing closed, thatd be pretty trick.

I was thinking the center console as well, or maybe that little cubby hole that is in front of the shifter. My friend has his mounted there and they are not very noticable unless you are looking for them.
