If you have an F-Sport, that might look pretty good. Not a hard upgrade, but I think it is more sporty then stock. :-)

I would do this only if it came with F-Sport logo rather than TRD and if it glowed blue in the dark (Blue is the default F-Sport color).

yes sir, everybody got there taste or like to get what they want, but since this is the only thing available, and its OEM, I like it. I appreciate everybody's opinion , and don't worry I don't take it personally if u guys do't like it.

Question

Now here is the trick, u must replace the chrome bezel ring around the ignition switch, the new one is smaller in diameter so if u try to use it, u will see a gap around ur ignition switch which will look very ugly , so u just pop it nice and gently so u wont brake it from the old one and the new one u switch it, it fits one way , and the trick is locate the two tabs close to each other at 4 o'clock as u see in the pic and push it back in, then plug the harness back in,and before u put the switch back in the hole, put the trim back in, just by pressing it nice and firmly into its place, and then just test the switch , start up the car , it should start with no problem, then turn the ignition off and pop the switch back in its place, and u are done.Again thanks to Joe-Z for doing this and u can get the switch from Nigel-Jdm.
How much is the button?

Not a fan of this one, but always appreciate it when someone takes the time to do a write up.
