    By the way, They can be made in different colors. Black, white, red, blue, yellow, green, purple, pink or orange.

    Damn it! Now I need to find more accessories to add to fill up one of these. Not sure I'll need 10, though. I don't really eat often in the truck but if I do I'll find another spot to place my burrito, LOL.

    @docloco, where did you buy the switches from? Maybe I can look at what types of switches they sell for some inspiration. Also, what is the final selection of sizes/switch quantities you are planning to do?

    The switches I got from aironboard.com. They are listed as Toyota center only. I will offer 5, 6, 8, and 10 switch plates.

    There are 2 versions to every switch. There's the basic panel which the buttons are not flush with the panel it's mounted to. Then there's the "deluxe" versions like I installed on mine where all the buttons are flush. I will update OP with a better list to keep track of what people want. I'll probably set this up as a group buy very soon.

    Looks really clean! The only drawback I see is that they are $28 per switch, that's like 2x what a typical Carling switch from somewhere like OTRATTW costs. I may opt to jump in on one of these but maybe just the 5 switch offering instead. I just can't see dropping $280 on switches even if over time and not all at once.

    I get it. To each their own. I like the factory switch look. I know others do too. It's all good.

    Oh yeah I definitely agree, I think overall the switch design and factory look is much better than your run of the mill Carling switch. I'm tempted to just sell my custom fiberglass overhead panel and go with one of these.

    @docloco is there any possibility of a switch panel with the buttons turned 90°? Obviously not 10 would fit there but probably 6 or 9 3x3 or 3x2

    I too would prefer the switches turned the other way. OCD, I guess. Maybe a 2x2 or 3x2.

    Yes 2x2 and 2x3 "vertical" are possible. The 10 switch panel could also fit in the upper sunglass holders if someone were to choos that, which means they all would fit with the exception of the "vertical" versions. I would think that would be a PITA to read.
