".

imo opinion it sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn't match anything in our cars.

whyyy do people do this?

to each their own... I like mine the way it is, but for others they like it, so go with it.

to me, the gtr buttom feels more solid and firm. thats why i changed mine. and it was a cheap mod.

A sports car should have a red start button, end of story!

Cmike2780 · 07-09-2011, 08:22 PM

They are made of the same parts, except for a different plastic for the button surface...the spring mechanism is identical.

Next someone will say the red button adds 10 HP.

Get your facts straight. Dynos have proven it's at least 15hp at the wheels. Your also wrong about the spring. The spring used in the GTR button is a high performance version. It lowers the engagement point 0.000000001 of an inch.

I stand corrected!

It's from a GT-R which is tits, what more of a reason do you need? Lol

TruKoi · 07-09-2011, 11:05 PM

Did a quick survey at work with 3 women..all gave me thumbs down on the GTR button..lmao.. tacky..ugly..looks like it comes from a toy car.

But to each his own..

Mine matches the red accents on the nismo. I like it.

originally, i thought it was extremely retarded. but for some reason it has grown on me and i want one. one of these days ill bother to order it, not worth placing a seperate order for it but when getting something else ill toss one in.

so i am no longer opposed to it, however, i am very opposed to people listing it as a mod in their signature. it makes me feel like they are really struggling to come up with a list that looks lengthy enough.... might as well list the tire patch from where you ran over a nail, or the stain on your seat!

whoever said people just want something different hit the nail on the head. i dont think many people really care that its from a GTR, i sure dont. the reality is, people will buy any "mod" they can that is under $100-150, even if its not really a mod at all.
