The plugs came in, and here's a pic with them installed. Anyone needs some plastic plugs for 1/2" holes? I have 98 of them left.

A little disappointed that the blue loctite bled from under the switch guards so much. But, not really visible without the flash.

Looks like you have room for "oil slick" and "machine gun" switches!

I was thinking maybe "Caltrops" and "Smoke Screen", but not sure how I'd get them past the tech inspectors. They're not listed as allowed modifications in the rule book -- maybe next year.

Since I don't have a passenger seat, there isn't much use for an ejector seat, unless I might need a quick exit from the car ("Watch out for that tree!" )

Looks good, Bill,
I've marked my ABS reset switch as 'push to pass', just to give my competitors something to think about if they peek inside my car..

Uh, couldn't you just hide them with a smoke screen?
