My interior has been coming together but I have put my switches in on my main panel (just my touch screen to fit in next) but I don't know what to do for labeling. Is there something I can use to label them with a very clean look or do you think I should just leave them. The switches from left to right are emergency stop, ignition, water pump, NO2(blank for now), wideband calibration button with indicator light below it, and my line lock indicator light.

So what do you think leave it with no labels or label it...and with what.

Cheers

well thats definitely an emergency stop button. Can't imagine anyone will not realize that one. You could just get regular labels with black background and white lettering.

lol you should label the big red one "PUSH ME"! :rofl: dang that thing really gets one's attention

at a minimum, i would label the IGN, H2O and NOS switches with white on either clear or black

I know I came across it at a shop. I think it is for a crane but it is really nice anodized aluminum and I was trying to find an E stop button at the time. Couldn't resist.

It does look very tempting to push but at least I can find it quick when I need it.

as for the label the plastic doesn't seem to like anything sticking to it. I was having a problem to put tape on while I did some grinding. Do you think a label on the switch would be the way to go?

I'd have Tom or someone make something nice. I hate typical labeling.

Tom is a member here who has two outstanding vehicles (feature cars) and he does beautiful graphics (more than a few members have his graphics in their cars).

I see a lot of very nice cars and then the labels on the switches look like an afterthought. Little details like that are big.

Good luck. It looks sweet.

I just stumbled on this thread. First of all that interior looks cool and very down to business. Second, I'm Tom, if you come up with something you want, just PM, I will do my best to set you up.
