Default Modding the start push button

This is taken from MinKara Carview web site and not mine. But I thought it looks cool for those who likes "Amazing in Motion"


The poster has a is300h and so the original color of the button is blue.

Yes, the mods done by some owners in Japan never cease to amaze me in terms of level of details to attention. The modded switch was done by a customs part workshop called BRECE Corporation. The owner had 3 requirements:

1. The switch should look like the one used in the Lexus Japan ad for the IS (remember the one with white IS) as well as the same font and the wording.
2. Original and unique design
3. A red colour that matches the dark rose red interior
4. High quality leather (probably imitation leather according the use of wording) that has a good texture to touch.

I don't like it or the TRD button. Rarity or JDM does not always equate to looking good.

But thank you for posting - always nice to know about more modification options.
