Agree, and the red is cool, its just 180 dollars extra for red is more than I would spend on a button. 50 bucks extra I'd probably do it.

I see your point, the $200 was a non issue to me, I respect your position, cheers

I would love to see a red carbon AMG button then you know when you hit it. The rocket is turned on.

just do it, it's an easy job, and well worth it IMO.
I'm off to order me a red start/stop button!

+1 on the overlay, this is a mod for me to do in addition to some door pins I'd actually would go for a gray CF start/stop button...

Check out these carbon start / stop buttons from Eddie @ kallegamento@gmail.com

In my experience, they’re top-quality and built on an OEM Merc Keyless Go button. I can happily confirm they’re plug and play with my W212 … simply pop out your boring silver button and put Eddie’s custom carbon button in its place.

He customized these start / stop buttons for me … I wanted to keep it simple without AMG printed on mine, so he made up these bad boys.

Eddie’s carbon buttons are good to go.

I got my red start button for $4.21 at Home Depot

After reading the thread, I liked the idea of a red start button. So, I made mine red.

Why spend $200 for a red button when you can simply paint the one you have red?

Because I had $200 to burn and I love the carbon fiber in red

Why spend $100k on a car when u can spend $50k or $20k?

Because sometimes, sometimes spending more money gets you a nicer product

Glad you like the krylon version for your $100,000 car!

Peter, we all love our Mercedes. You spend $200 you had to burn and I happened to have $4000 to have a ECU turned. I don't brag about it as you don't. It's just something we like. At the end of the day, we all go home happy. I'm sorry if I shard more than I was supposed to, but I do it out of heart.

On this we are in agreement-- forgive me if I don't feel like spray painting a start button, would rather then just keep the oem button. No disrespect to those more frugal or economical

Do you have a pic? I would do this but my concern would be how long it will last as that button is being hit at least 4 times a day typically. In my case usually 8 or more times a day.

The paint flowed into the depressions where the "start / stop" are embossed.
Not optimum, as I would have preferred the writing was still visible, but I know what the button is for. I can do without the writing.
