Lamborghini style start button

Hey guys!

I have been surfing the internet and look what I found:

I would like to put at least the lid and the cover, but the best would be the button as well. Any thoughts on this? Any expert on 3D paint that could modify it to fit our Vettes?

Strange mod not sure why you would waste any time or money on something like this.

Printing this in 3D shouldn't be more than 10-15 euros, if you happen to have a 3D printer even less. The model is already done, it would need some tweaks to better fit our cars but that's it

What you need is to find a Huracan owner that wants to switch to a Corvette Start button for an even swap.
OMG.... I'm kidding, this is crazy

Terminally... ... hokey.

I've a friend with four Lambos and even he doesn't have a lot of trouble accidentally pushing the start buttons!

1940’s Cadillac door locks had covers. What’s old is new again I guess.

Good luck if you find a way to make it work. I’ll keep my Starr button the way it is.

Being a military helicopter guy for 30 years I like guarded switches...but I'm not sold on putting one in my vette. But its your car, mod it the way you want it. Good luck with making the electrical connections correctly. If you get it to work, put up a video.
