need some button help

First of all I guess I should explain that I love buttons!!!

Now that that is out of the way, I'm replacing the stock head unit in the near future which is going to make my aux port useless, and since I have only used to lock/unlock button once in the years I've owned the car, I'm thinking of just taking it out. This all leaves me with one problem, there are going to be 4 empty blank spots that buttons could be put in but I have no idea what to put in there. Right now I have 1 hardwired to my radar detector which I will probably keep and 1 as a garage door opener which will probably go away since I don't own a garage door anymore.

I guess what I'm saying is that I'm looking for suggestions from you guys as to what to hook 3 more buttons to. I'm not really the neon light kind of guy anymore so suggestions other than that would be awesome and greatly appreciated...

Let me see what you guys got!!!!

I have a USB port for my Head Unit in one, and I plan on splicing my HU Aux In to the factory Aux input. I have plans for a window switch in the future, perhaps you could wire one that controls both windows?

There also, of course, the traditional Fog Light switch that would go there if you don't have Fogs already.

install a trunk pop rather than just the pull lever and use one for that.

I would want to keep that trust me turning this car without it is a PITA.
Instead I would opt for a switch to disable ABS instead

don't need a switch for that, just pull the fuse, or if you really hate it, rip the entire system out of the car.
