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.

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

If the GTR button was white, and the 370Z button was red, people would be switching the red ones out for white. It's all about being different.

I saw this on my Mercedes. There was a coupe version and a sedan version and the license plate surround was different. Everyone that had a coupe wanted the sedan surround...and everyone who had the sedan wanted the coupe surround - and everyone had their justifications.

Pretty sure the joke is the "+200HP" writing.
