".

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.

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!
