Window Switch Relocation?
Gotta love how one project leads to 10 others...
Installing the Numeric Racing short shifter. I'm considering adding a riser to it as well - however, that would ultimately lead to having to completely get rid of the center console - which, leads me to the relocation of the window switches,...
Anyone done this? Seems like I can uninstall them from the console and put them into the blanks on the dash. Not a big deal if I have to extend the wires...
Thoughts?

I relocated mine to the heated seat switch locations in the center 'bat wing' when I removed my console for the Numeric install. It was simple. Of course, my bolted RaceTech 4009s don't require heat.

So to follow up on this - it was a pretty easy relocation. The hard part was physically getting the large window switch plugs routed up through the dash.
Either way - now the window switches are on the dash, the Numeric is installed, and the console is currently left out - leaving the car 9.8# lighter.

To run the wires under the carpet - yes - take the shifter out. It'll make it so much easier. There is no issue in doing that.

I guess I’m asking if you found that your wires WERE run under the carpet? Mine looks like the loom goes under the carpet. Secondarily, if I unbolt the shifter, do I have to worry about any sort of re-calibrating it when I bolt it back in?

Sorry about that... yes. The wires were already under the carpet. Rather than trying to force the whole switch back under the carpet (and since it's a track car) I just made a small slice in the carpet along the top. If you are replacing the console you'll never see it.
If you simply unbolt the shifter - no... you won't have any re-alignment issues. I have done it on my 997 and 996 multiple times without ever having an issue.
