Red GT-R start button?

Someone over at the370.com did it to their Z... But our Gs, at least the sedans, are a bit different. Has anyone tried this yet? I think it looks pretty neat... : )

DIY - GTR Red Start-Stop Button Swap out - Nissan 370Z Forum

Here's the button itself... it's only $40.90 + shipping:

SWITCH UNIT-IGNITION - GTR (R35) 2009+ Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com

It might possibly be even easier for us? What do you think?

Sorry. Let me clarify. I meant that the DIY should be different given the location of our start buttons. At least in the sedan. The actual button is the same size.

Are you talking about that picture where the start button is near the shifter ****? That's a pic of the GT-R. The start button on the Z is next to the steering wheel like it is in the G.

Oh, I know that one near the shifter is for the GT-R. lol

I was looking at the the370.com pics in the thread. It looks like the button is attached to the center console. I went out to my 2010 sedan earlier, and the button is connected to the steering column instead, which might make this a little easier.

I know it's just a red button, but it is something different! lol
