Finally after one and half month wait with all the stat holiday delay, I finally received my customized start button. So here are some pictures of it showing how it looks. I went with the matte finish but I think I would do glossy finish if I ever wanted to do it again. Anyways, here is how it looks will update with pics once I have it installed on the car. Stay tuned!

Updated with pics after installation. The look is awesome, OEM fitment, not need to do any modification but the only thing I don't like about this customized start button is that it is slightly shorter than the OEM one. It doesn't sit flush with the OEM button "outter ring" not sure if you understand what I mean. It's the outter gray ring that surrounds the start button. Let's see some picture to have a better understanding.

I will need to talk to the company that makes these start buttons first to resolve the "gap" issue first. I can make some designs for the F cars but need to be patient about it.

Looks good!! Would be interested to purchase one as well if you make it available for a group buy. How did you take that part out and install it?

Looks really good! I see the "not flush" issue, but it still looks pretty awesome. Nice work on getting that done.

The dimension is the same as OEM besides I believe it is an oem start button cover but probably for Toyota or older Lexus not too sure as the fitment is OEM fitment but it just sit a bit lower than the OEM in which making the dimension looks smaller

I'm contacting the company now trying to get it resolved. I might host a GB on this but not until I am satisfied with the fitment.

Gotcha. Well if you ever get this figured out I'd love to jump in for a gloss finish
