    Center Console Ideas

    So I decided to remove the whole center console piece. I am now looking for ideas on where to put my window switches. I was thinking of cutting into the tunnel but I not sure how well that would work. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated! Click image for larger version

    Put them in the blanks next to the hazard switch.

      cutting holes in the tunnel would expose them to the weather and heat. Not a good idea IMO.

        This is probably the best idea if you absolutely MUST not have a center console.

          I tried it before and you have to cut lots of the wire holders to get the wires to stretch up there, but it is the best idea, since you wont use the stock fader switch there should be plenty of spaces for the window switches. even if you have the rear defrost and hazard there still.

                Make a small bracket for them to mount horizontally just under the heater controls

                  Get one of these Euro panels and put the switches on the side.
