Did this mod the other night. BRB (big red button) makes it look so much better. Write up definitely made it easy. Took about 10 minutes and everything was bask in place. Now it's time to start on performance mods... any advice?

Big thanks to Triple's. Just did this mod this morning, took about 20 minutes and went seamlessly. The writeup and pics made it exponentially easier.

I definitely, have to do this mod. Looks pretty straight forward to me. Just need to wait for my next paycheck.

+1 Rep. Got it done in less than 20 minutes, today. The hardest part was figuring out which screws did and didn't have to come out, when removing the kneepads.

Thanks for a solid DIY.

Just did the mod! Thanks OP.
Eihtball99 is right - there's lots of screws when you take the shift bezel off. Can't mess it up, though. I took off more than I needed to, but it was no big deal.

A tough part for me was taking the old button out of its housing with the clips on the side.
Looks better in person than it does in pictures. And do others notice a nicer button feeling? Like.. it feels like a real button now. Launch warheads kind of button.

p.s. - use an old t-shirt to put on your flathead screwdriver head as you pry up the shift bezel. No worries that way.

Installed the button and a new shifter in about 20 minutes. Super easy mod and makes a huge difference.

Took 20 minutes and simple. Only trouble was finding the other screw for the knee pad. (two total per knee pad; black screws) Also I hit the start button a few times trying to get the button to pop out of the silver housing which made me want to disconnect the battery; but I didn't and everything still was easy. Looks sweet.

Just leave your key out of range of the car while you're doing the install ;)

It does have a nicer feel to it, all the other stock ones feel cheaper and more plasticky. Funny how the GTR button is the cheapest one.

Good tip. I did that too.

I bit the bullet, it looked to sexy not to do. I'm going to tell people it added 15 rwhp if they ask! Definitely not worthy of being called a mod though. It is slightly diff from instructions above on a manual tranny. Pain in but cuz of shift boot etc in the way. Looks great in a red car though!

You might as well install a custom shift knob at the same time as this install. It adds another 10hp. :)

For real though, nice idea and it looks good. It's sweet they can be swapped out so easily without needing to cut your dash or change the wiring.

Installed mine today. The metallic red really pops against the black dash!
