Custom start button?

Huck · 03-18-2012, 09:53 PM

Is there any way to make a custom start button? Not really digging the gtr one, I want something like an all black button with a white Z in the middle that's led backlit. I haven't looked at how the start bottoms are put together, is that even possible?

It has to be possible. Sounds like a cool DIY project.

seems simple enough if you remove the power on and seal the back allowing the light to shine in the shape of the Z...I would take the push button to a custom audio/electronic shop see if they can do anything with it!

I may buy another start button and see what I can do with it, I really like this idea.

I'll bet there are a few hundred (thousand?) of the white ones out there collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. Bet someone would give you a good deal on one...

this is brilliant, and exactly what i would do if i changed it

Honestly I'm really surprised nobody has come up with the design yet, it's like the only part of the car that nobody has touched yet (except for switching it out to the GTR one).

White ones? I haven't seen any of those, where can I find them?

EDIT: I'm an idiot. You meant our stock ones.

I've been wanting to figure out a way to just flick a metal switch like in a true race car.

Ron · 04-02-2012, 07:45 PM

the switches on race cars are for battery, ignition and fuel pump usually. To start the car you use a push button.

NASCAR and dirt track cars have ignition switches. I no longer like the button.
