Awesome write up! Thanks for taking the time to do it. Also found this to be helpful in locating the 2 screws holding the knee pad in place http://www.activetechdesigns.com/downloads/z.pdf thanks again!

+1 Rep to Triple! Ordered mine the other day, arrived yesterday, installed it last night. And I agree to most of you guys, it only took me 10 mins!

Thanks for the write up..

I did mine earlier this evening, took me about 30 minutes being very careful. I was a little nervous, I only have 140 miles on the car...

Does it light up like the white button? I kind of like how it does that... like is it as easy to find in the dark?

kenchan · 02-07-2011, 10:38 AM

The start/stop letters are back-lit as well. It looks good at night. In direct sunlight it looks like dark red-ish, with slight burnt orange.

Did you pay extra to make it hairy?

+1 for more illumination description. I do like how the stock button completely lights up (the whole button is made of translucent plastic or something)
