My idea is to add the case only, maybe in the future I will try it as the Lambo, but not now

What will you use the Lambo style button on if you don't have a stock one to replace?

I have never accidentally pushed my start button.

It's not for protection, just for the looks/fun. I Can't measure the button because my car hasn't been delivered yet, that's the reason I am asking. Thank you!

I think it’s a great idea. I have always felt that the start button is what sets the Lamborghini apart from the Corvette.

This small but significant mod would bring our Corvettes so close to being a Lamborghini that it may well be worth it.

I would rather have a hidden start button and leave the original start button in place but inoperable to fake out thieves.

I still like the look of the covered Start Button. It's unique-it's different. I still like scissor doors too. The white Countach was the poster on my wall as a teenager. I still love the look and style of Lamborghini.

The scissor doors were awesome, and unique, until the honda civic crowd ruined it!!
