Default Thanks Atomic!! And a question

Got my painted (Victory Red) starter button yesterday (well, my wife did - I pulled a 16 hour day the last two days) and it looks sharp!! Wife called me and was like WTF is this thing?

Told her. She chuckled and mentioned something to me about not modding the car. Told her it wasn't a mod, it was correcting a factory oversight, that sports cars with starter buttons should be in red.

And the quick question, how hard is it to actually replace the damn thing? How much of the dash do I have to pull out to install it? I haven't looked into buying the FSM yet.

I have been thinking about getting one of these. Does it look as good in person as in the pics?

Yep. I will post pics when:

1. The car gets to Houston and I pick her up.
2. Install the button.

C'mon Mike - it's only like 75 bucks.
