+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)

Stupid high res camera...

I didn't notice until after I looked at the picture.

Because the red button makes your Z look like a 1992 Miata!

For $40, why not a red button?

Quick question

Once I installed this GTR button my windows dont roll up anymore and my air bag lights are on at all times...has anyone else experienced this?

Installed the Red button when adding the iSimple iPod Gateway to the Bose Stereo, took no time at all. Looks amazing, and really helps to accent the red interior or the 40th Anniversary!!

I'm sorry guys for the noob question that follows, this is my first car and first time even attempting to do any sort of mod by myself so I ask: Do you have to disconnect the battery before doing so?

My brother's is just sitting in his car, I'm sure he could part with it. What would you want to do with it?

just finished the install. Thanks Trips for the writeup/pics

i have heard you can install the starter buttons on a 07-08 350z but it takes a 170 buck wiring harness to do it. Not really sure on this, just what my buddy told me when he asked if he could have my old button.....
