It is red and actually is a different material so it feels different when you push it.

No worries about being rude; it's a fair question.

I like it for the metallic red color. It really pops in a black interior, and doesn't look like something out of Altima/Versa.

It's one of the easiest and cheapest mods you can do. I've already had two friends comment on it.

I totally agree with you, because I thought the orange actually matched the rest of the lights that we have inside.

It doesn't look like milk and feel cheap.

You parsed his sentence wrong. He had two friends that commented not two buttons that friends commented on...

It definitely adds some color to an otherwise black interior, plus it feels more solid when pressed. I like mine, that's all that matters in the end!

A buddy of mine wasn't even remotely interested in the mod until he saw mine! Seriously..you can't know how cool it is until you have experienced it for yourself. It's smooth, metallic..and NOT OEM. 'nuff said!

I have a 40th z. Honestly, the stock OE button pretty much sticks out a lot more than the GTR push start, which matches the red trim interior.
