You can get the starter button at quite a few vendors here on the forum.
I think I got mine from Corvette Mods. They were having a free shipping weekend. I know RPI sells them too. You can actually get any C6 color you want. Inferno Orange, JSB, CRM, etc., I went with Victory Red.
Oh, one other thing. It's not a cover, it's the actual OEM starter button painted red. You will have to pop out the cluster pod, remove your button and then install the new painted button. There are a couple of really good how to's on the forum. It will take about a 1/2 an hour to do and that's only because you're going to be very cautious doing it for the first time. If you were familiar with removing the cluster pod it would only take a couple minutes to do.
Best,
Greg

Thanks everyone for the props. Much appreciated. I owe a debt of thanks to all of the members who have posted their photos and how to's on this forum. So much information here. I feel like I've taken a course in C6 'vettes being on this forum.

The faceplate is wrapped in Alcantara. It's the same material as the center part of the seats. It's getting used a lot in higher end cars. Lamborghini has been using it to wrap their interiors for quite a while now. GT3's are wrapped in it too.

I think they probably do. There is a company that makes a chrome plated one. The lights might be able to shine through that? Not sure though. To be honest after looking at it I realized this is something I could have EASILY done myself. It's just a matter of cutting the circle templates the correct size. So, if you wanted to you could also make tiny circle templates to place over the acc and off lights and then paint it the color of your choice plus a couple coats of clear and your golden!
