Default Northwest Technologies 5 Switch Kit installed

Installed the 5 switch kit that replaces the coin holder. The switches are good switches with excellent feel and positive actuation. Purchased the red illumination, looks very nice. I had to modify the installation procedure slightly, due to the fact that I have a benevento purple carbon fiber kit on the console that I did not want to remove. This made the gap between the tape and the surfaces where that tape is to adhere a little too wide. So I drilled 1/4' hole in the switch plate on 2 sides, and a 1/8" hole inside the change holder area and used #10 x 1/2' sheet metal screws to attach the switch plate. Tightened the screws ONLY to the point where the screwheads contact the switchplate with a slight pressure. The switch plate was not made to be attached w/screws and is fairly pressuere sensative. Too much pressure & it will crack. Used chrome screw covers from a license plate kit to conceal the screws. Pics below:

Switches on (sorry anout the blue, but the center switch is for the interior neons):
