Cool Start Button Mod

brikabrak · 08-31-2018, 01:21 PM

Saw this on here somewhere, but can't remember where. Finally got my red button and aluminum trim.

I think it looks great. Also gives a nice change to the feel when you "ignite" the engine.

Pretty good way to spend $10 imho.

Yes we know. It's been mentioned and shown on these forums about a dozen times already....Along with the blue button

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine

I did the trim as well but took it off because it had a sharp fill to it on the top. I kept the red button though.

A tiny bit of sandpaper would have resolved it.

Wondering where you found it for $10.

KGB_123_99 · 08-31-2018, 07:10 PM

Looks good. I am also interested where you got this for $10.

I got mine from Ali Express, it was a long wait but saved a bit of money. Both are very high quality, I thought the trim would have been plastic, but it's real aluminum.

Can also get them via prime.

The silver button might also look cool.

Both say free shipping for me on Ali Express. Not sure what your talking about.

obert · 09-03-2018, 11:17 AM

Weird one says $40 and the other says free.

eksigned · 09-03-2018, 01:14 PM

Man...and here I thought IND was putting in work. They're reselling these buttons for $30, and then the trim piece for another ~17?

Pittcrew · 09-03-2018, 01:25 PM

What model steering wheel is that? I like the Alcantera and the multicolored stitching
