Do you have the console with the kleenex space? You can take the kleenex out, put a piece across it, and mount your switches there. I have seen a few do that. That, or on the side of the console.
I am redoing my console. I am taking the coin slots out and fiberglassing across it and adding a few switches there. They will be under the lid, so they won't be seen...

I am going to have about 5 or 6 rocker switches - I'm not sure what they will all do yet though... 
Most will be to relays for the real power to certain things. I know of 2 of the switches as of now, but I am going to go ahead and put in extra switches so I don't have to cut and fab again. I'll just have to hook the switches up later. My ideas so far will be:
1) Trailer light relay so I can flash trailer lights.
2) Rear power to a trailer. (lights inside the box I mounted on my jetski trailer)
3) Auxillary amp switch
4) Inside neons and lights
5) Outside neons (if I ever install any)
I'm sure I'll have a few other things in mind also. I have a couple of rocker switches already mounted for my extra gauge lights. I have them wired to the illumination power, but I can turn them on/off at will so they are not always shining in my face off the pillar.
Here are some of the switches I am using:
