[surmanm]

really you think so, what about white you think i should try that?

[iiiskylll]

That green is disgusting. I think white would look way better, if not then stick to the blue.

[phobs]

[beeristasty]

I dig it, but I think I'd like it even better if it was more of a neon lime green.

Don't like the green. Blue or white.

I think it should be green when you turn the ignition on, meaning "Push here to Start", and then after the car starts, it should turn red, meaning "Push here to turn off the motor". Or maybe after you put the car in "Park".

Better yet, can you make the words "Start" or "Stop" alternately appear under those conditions?

And while you're at it, can you create a separate button to turn ACC on and off?

Looks good Mike! Not feeling the green tho. I think it'll look better in Blue but hell, if you're that bored, let's see it in white like you said!

[Marisha]

I like it better in blue. Maybe have the ON be green?

[surmanm]

im going to stick to blue, but il put up a picture at some point of it white.

Carcass your asking for a bit to much just for a start button dont you think

[LongBeachCoupe]

I want something that glows Red when i stop the car... pauses for 3 seconds... then says "Hammertime!"

[dangeris]

OMG,..that's too freakin' funny Bri!!!!

[Kanard]

makes me want a JOLLY RANCHER. yay green!

[Bmore-coupe]

A+ for effort. not felling the green. white would look good i think, or red maybe

[imdavit]

iunno man, green for go aint bad

Not always true, think of a pump indication: Red means Run or energized, green means stopped or de-energized....for a valve red means open, green means closed....how ya like them apples, green or red?

[08coupedaddy]

how did you change the color that surrounds your gauges to blue? that looks sick as hell dude

[surmanm]

I have had a number of people emailing me regarding the led swap guys im going to tell you this is not an easy task the gauge cluster alone takes a good whole day of work, working on brians gauge cluster last weekend and still haven't finished there is about 50 individual surface mounted leds on it that's not including the orange that you have to get rid of. in our car the surface mounted leds vary in size from 1mm these are in the hvac and some other spots up to 3mm some of these are in the gauge cluster.

this is not something you should attempt to do unless you are very comfortable sitting their for hours soldering surface mounted components with a set of tweezers and a magnifying glass. im not talking about soldering some wires or those regular leds.

BTW brians gauge cluster is going to look SICK white needles blue ring bezel blue lcd screens and RED numbers i like the red . they would have been done by now but someone im not going to mention any names messed something up its ok tho im going to fix it with a spare that i have.

Still green! Keep the colors of the road the same... You stop at red lights and go at green lights. Plus you burn fuel when the engine is running, and fuel costs money - which is commonly recognized as being green (in the US).

But since the button actually performs both start and stop functions, we may have to combine the colors, leaving us with brown (pigments) or yellow (light waves). Or plaid lol.

I could go on and on. The blue button looks sweet though. Maybe have the "ON" label green and "LOCK" & "ACC" labels red
