OEM-looking Kill switch/secondary starter

Hey guys, been a while since my last post. Been working on wiring in a 3 position switch to EOC and start the engine again without needing to touch the key. There was a lot of head scratching over what to do for the kill switch part but thanks to another forum just for Hyundais, I learned Hyundai offers free shop manuals as printable pdfs on there site. WOOT! http://www.hmaservice.com/ you need to register, but it's free. Firstly, I wanted to keep it looking as clean and stock as possible. I decided to use some of the unused switch covers

I started by removing off the center council panel and chose a cover to hack up

broke some stuff out of one of the covers and drilled a hole for the switch

Then to try and make it look really slick, i found the font hyundai uses and made a stencil to paint on the switch functions

This guy is the engine control relay where all the fuel injectors ground. Took me a while, but i found it through an interactive electrical pdf that gives the numbers and colors of wires and lets you zoom in on specific wire harnesses with everything numbered. Anyone with a Hyundai should take note. Very comprehensive.

Solder it all up

That's all the pics for now. Ill finish up the assembly in the moring, but the electrical bits work perfectly on the kill switch and on the starter side as well. Bonus points for coolness?
