Center Console Buttons?
Anyone know where one can find buttons or switches that match the plugs that are in the front of the center console of a '98? My friend wants to wire his garage door opener into his console, and he's about to settle for an arcade game button (we both restore video game cabinets, so lots of buttons lying around). I think that will look pretty damn gay, so I told him to hold off for a while until I can see if there's something better out there.
He just needs a basic on/off button, but one that will fit in the rectangular holes in the console. I remember seeing them on a website once upon a time, but I can't remember what it was. A lot of you guys have pretty sweet interiors, so I'm sure someone on here can recommend a site. His interior is tan, by the way. Thanks in advance.

Don't know if these help:
http://www.itwswitches.com/index2.htm http://www.judcomfg.com/PButton.htm Maybe search E-bay with "push buttons" and there are a ton of them on there; like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...114968484&rd=1 Or even try Radioshack or an auto parts store.

murray's or autozone usually have an assload of buttons and switches, as well as relays, wires, capacitors...etc. but yea, hit up a local auto part's store, they'll probably have a good selection of misc buttons/switches.

U could always go the junkyards and get a switch, say for the sunroof out of 96-98 and rig it to work with the garage switch. The switches should be the same size as the placement tabs on the console.

Re: Center Console Buttons?
He ended up getting two pushbuttons from radio shack (one for the right door, one for the left). It came out nice; the buttons aren't even visible when the lid of the center console is closed. The wires run from the console to up behind the radio, where the remote is hidden. Works great.
I've got a few things planned on mine that will need switches, though, and I'm going to use Honda power lock switches. I really like that idea. Thanks for your help, everyone!
