Brushed Red Keyless Go Button
 
I have been playing around with a Brushed Red Keyless Go Button.
I think the Red Carbon Fiber version is too much with the Burlwood Trim so I thought this would be just enough.
(Definitely, need to dust the interior)

Did you spray paint this?

AkaSigFreak 05-23-2017 05:46 PM

Maybe?! Depends on how you think it looks.

tresean1 05-23-2017 05:52 PM

Haha. Okay I think I got my answer

AkaSigFreak 05-23-2017 07:33 PM

It is removable. The last one I did was a red film and I think it looked better. This time, I was having issues cutting the circles.

Lots of views but not many responses. By the responses received- I'd say it doesn't look good. Oh well!

Not a big fan of the red start/stop button. My daughter's Honda fit is red. LOL
I think the stock silver is the way to go and MB really doesn't offer an alternative. $200 or whatever for that Ebay red button is just ridiculous. Maybe black would be ok, but not with your trim. Sorry, I admire your attempts to customize but just not feeling this direction.

AkaSigFreak 05-24-2017 11:42 AM

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I'll try leaving the letters color filled instead.

KEY08 05-24-2017 11:45 AM

Yeah, regardless of what you end up doing, I think it's important to still be able to differentiate the script.

that might help! :)

Not the biggest fan of this myself and I do recall some people paying 200 bucks for a similiar addition. So it must be a thing that some people like. Since really only you and your passengers will see it why not just leave it like that if you like it?

tresean1 05-24-2017 12:38 PM

they are on ebay going for $130...

I'd wouldn't say red is the right colour choice and that it looks good. But that would be my opinion.:thankyou:

Yeah, I found that one for $149, but nothing for $130. In any event, these used to be $180-$200 awhile back. It is a hunk of plastic (ok "carbon fiber"). total ripoff

belarus27 05-24-2017 04:48 PM

I forgot , do these light up or not? if so that carbon fiber one dont look like it will.
even tho id get it in a heartbeat if it wasnt that pricey

I don't remember them lighting up. That would be dope if they did though.

KEY08 05-24-2017 04:56 PM

light up your wallet, yessir!

cetialpha5 05-24-2017 05:47 PM

Considering that the regular chrome button is about $22-$25 on eBay, that's a big rip off.

Lol definitely would



One thing i couldnt find is......... START/STOP pre cut sticky words that i could put on top of my vinyl when im done wrapping the button. That would make it OEM kinda looking.

Not bad, thanks. Someone could make a killing coming up with some trick options for these since it is a pure graphic exercise, with no electronics.
