Ideas for New Switch Panel

Hey anyone have any ideas or pictures of cool switch panels you have made or purchased. Or a good place to buy one.

Looking to add some toggle switches for some emergency lights that I need as i'm a local firefighter and a couple new options.

Switches
Front and back flashing lights (2)
Also new fog lights to be installed (1)
And a power invertor I wanted to install under my seat (1)

So 4 switches.

I could just put them in the glove box-- and I don't really want to hack up the dash-- ideas please.

Also where would be the best place to tap for the power... will I need a new circuit and fuse.

Thanks

What about just drilling a few holes in the dash instead of hacking it up? I like the way Beerstalker did his.

They go in the spot where the cubby hole is, but they are for the 05-up trucks but can be made to work for the 99-04 trucks. There is a thread up in the SuperDuty section about making them fit into a 99-04 dash, but if it were me, and I want to add these and this is how I will do it, I would add the lower dash from the 05-07 trucks. Check out strokersace's gallery, he added these to his truck.
