Obnoxious emergency flasher button
Not that big of a deal, but that red triangle in the middle of the dash just bugs me. I fully realize it has it's purpose and they want me to be able to find it, but it looks obnoxious and tacky to me.
Has anyone covered it in any manner?
Maybe I will get used to it, but as of now I am thinking of fabricating something to make it a bit less obtrusive.
Any thoughts or ideas?

wild idea... find a switch assembly and replace the button with an oh-so-carefully
cut out veneer of matching grain. drill hole in the center (to view light) and
retrofit in place of the old switch

Are you upset with your girlfriend or do you not like big red triangular shaped things in general?
Having a joke at your expense. But seriously, you're really picky and difficult if you find that button that obnoxious.

And patrick-y, this post was started in a light-hearted manner, and as I initially stated, not that big of a deal. And yeah, I might be a little picky, but that thing just doesn't seem to fit in with an otherwise pleasing look in my opinion, and I was curious as to whether others agreed. And at least one has, so I am not alone. All in fun my friend, it was just an observation, but may quite possibly turn into a mission, LOL!
