Default Couple of Interior changes, some may like, some may not like!

Here are a couple of pics of some interior "sprucing up" I recently did. Purchased the TRD red push button start, and also the spun aluminum radio ***** and sport mode ****. These radio ***** were discussed in another thread so I figured for $49.00 they would be worth the "try". Very nice quality and fit and finish. I like the change. The TRD start button has been discussed in length in the IS and RC non F forums. I personally like the color that it provides and the fact that it lights up now where the OEM one does not. When swapping the push button start I did keep the OEM trim ring and discarded the plastic chrome plated one it comes with. So feel free to take a gander at the pictures and comment!

Very cool and "Baller Alert"...what do you mean going with a TRD push button start and not the TOMS button...LMAO

All kidding aside I like the changes a lot...very nice job

Where did you acquire the TRD button...that might look good along with my red interior

***** were purchased off eBay. Here is the link...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-IS-RC...53.m2749.l2649

I considered the Tom's button, but decided I liked the look of the TRD better. The button is marketed for the FR-S/86 car, but is universal for all Toyota/Lexus cars.

Yeah I never understood why the red interior is soo popular... which is why it was soo hard for me to find my Stratus Grey which I looove! Too bad tehy don't make that TRD push start button in a light grey/white/silver to match Stratus Grey interiors . . . it would look fantastic (esp. if it has an led backlight)!

You make a very good point about the start button with the gray interior. That would look AWESOME!!!!!

I was only willing to consider buying the playa or stratus gray interior colors with a white exterior. It took me almost 2 months to find one with low mileage and the right price. I absolutely love it!!!

let us know if you do anything else to your RC. I am not a fan of doing big mods to my cars anymore. I like the little mods that make our cars more personalized!

This X2. I got a lot of people that weren't too keen on my wheels...but I love them. Of course, I would love to have multiple pairs to swap out for variety but too many other things now with family that cost $$$$$$ so....

Yes indeed! I wish I had the red interior. I had the red interior on my 14F-Type V8S and loved it......but I couldn't find USB with the red......that was going to be my ultimate color combo!!
