Pic request: Battery cutoff switch in rear bumper

This may be lame, I may get flamed, but I dont care. I just relocated my battery to the trunk and am wondering where/how to mount my switch on my bumper. I know Ive seen it on here on someones car before, but cant seem to find the pic again. So yes, Ive searched, but have come up empty handed. Please post pics up ppl, THANKS

why would you put there?
Put it where is the whind shield wiper are. that black plastic . easy to work on . Also put it at the driver side close to the fender it will be a safe place also very visible for the helper if he needs to disconnect it.

It would be ok for a track car, but people will eternally be screwing with that if you have it on a street car lol

Plus, not sure about everywhere else, but where I live, we as track workers are trained to look for battery cutoff switches on the dash, in the middle, so it can be reached from both sides of the car, as per the regs used here (which I believe mirror SCCA regs).

lol maybe you need to get a jdm bumper then, or maybe you should get rid of the battery in the back and move up to a mini battery kit.

only problem is i find out if you do a bumper cut off switch it is very vulnerable. /on rally car or bumper to bumper race/
So that is why we did always at the driver side at the car where is the window wipers.

Thats what I thought, but I wasn't sure. I had a Cusco cage in my S2000, but for the Evo I want something track legal.

True, thats why Im not too worried bout it since all its really gonna see is the dragstrip. no road racing, rally, etc....
