Looking good. My button and light trim have been sitting in my mailbox, can't fit it until I get back home after the vacations.

Sorry man! I look forward to the photos... it's -2C here today... I brought the start/ stop in the house! Least you have summer!

Various places have them. Mine was on Amazon, there's other references in the thread. Easy install with trim tools and a small screwdriver and the videos on the site.

Button aside, is that your steering wheel?

It's the first time I've seen an alcantara+leather hybrid and it's perfect! Any details/links?

Cheers.

Congrats, looking good!

There are now a variety of colors, including metallic red, silver and blue. I saw them on wish.com for ten bucks and they're probably available on Alibaba, too.

I think a brushed/matte silver button (to match the trim on the steering wheel) would go well with that red trim. Nice wheel BTW!

Is all that CF just wrap? It looks bumpy.

Yes it's the so called "4D" CF vinyl, which is kind of textured, laid atop native textured CF panels...hence the bumpiness (though I prefer the term 'textured'

).

I will get better pictures to show what it's really like.

We keep red buttons in stock and have custom painted bezels as well.

Before I remove the Start Button from car, Do I need to disconnect the battery power?

It's a good idea to disconnect the negative terminal, but some at the beginning of this thread didn't & the install went OK. Here's a YouTube DIY:

Here is mine:
(Red button $8 from ebay and button trim from wish for $3)
Last pic should say "PLASTI DIP" lol

I reached out to IND to see if they'll ever carry a metallic red vs the flat as I do like the Polar Blue's metallic style look. They won't be making it unless there's a group buy of at least 25 orders.

Curious if anyone is interested?

I thought I'd be interested. But the issue is, I never get to actually see the damn start button...it hides behind the steering wheel.

Only time you actually see it is if you're riding in the passenger seat.

First world problems.

Got my red start button from wish. Took about 3 weeks to come in. Paid $13. Quality seems decent.
