thank you but they don't offer free shipping to HI, its $23.... ebays often the same with majority of sellers.

Hate living here in Oahu sometimes especially with automotive related things.

Anyone tried spray painting the chrome/silver ring to a matte black?

Edit: nvm found someone that did

Just FYI. Scott (race shop at Fontana USA) was able to give me a better shipping rate after I reached out to him directly. Thanks Scott!

Please do not take apart the dash... I did this in literally 1 minute and 34 seconds using only my drivers license while taking pics...

Thank you for that shortcut, I knocked it out in about a minute or so. Piece of cake!

I finally got around to installing the GT-R start button. Super quick and easy. Thanks all for the great idea and the DIY steps.

Mine arrived today (UK) having ordered from Japan (On Amazon UK) because it was cheapest although it took a little longer to arrive.

Fitted in ten minutes using OP's original method

Looking great but looking forward to tonight to see the illuminated switch.

Many thanks to the OP for the original write up.
