Took a quick iPhone pic.

From a 1-10 it's a 1. Anybody should be able to do this with no problem.
Less then 5 min taking it off and putting it back on.
I love it, but I also got doug to do the custom LEDs to mine.
I jus love how the red looks on the button.

I did mine a few weeks ago, and it was actually kinda hard. The hardest part was getting the button isolated and disconnected from the car. From then on, getting the core out (if you're switching LED colors), be gentle, but don't be afraid to be a little bit rough. I know it's plastic, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Took my friend an I about 30 min. We're both 17 and know next to nothing about cars and modding them, so we were having a little bit of difficulty. Watch the video 10 times, and have it playing while you're trying to get the button out. It helps a lot.

From 1-10, i would say about a 3 or 4.

I did mine about the same time and I agree with you on getting the button out. Mine would not come out no matter how hard I tired pushing it because of the clips in the back. I ended up taking apart the plastic in the foot well, and used a screwdriver to push the clips in and slide it out... After that it was easy. Worth every minute spent!!!....
