I wish I could bring down the cost more but I did hire a graphic designer to come up with all the designs, so I do have my own cost besides just the product itself. Comparing to Tom's and TRD who are mainly supported by Toyota/Lexus, I am pretty sure they will get a better access on OEM parts to do their modifications on. I am not surprised they get a more competitive pricing to offer.

So when you order the TRD start button, is it the whole unit or just the cover piece as well? I was under the impression we were getting a whole unit and $119 for just a cover does seem a bit steep. Can anyone clarify for me?
Thanks!!

^^^^Your thinking is correct. But, the question, at least for me, is do I want something that says TRD or do I want something a little more exclusive that actually fits the motif of the car? For me, it's a no brainer. The TRD piece has been available for some time, and does nothing for me. I don't drive a Toyota, no matter who the parent company is. A Lexus Blue button with the proper logo just does it for me. And, if the electrics in the OEM switch are working properly, we really don't need the whole assembly. You may have guessed, my order is already in.

Thanks a lot for the support. I was debating in getting the TRD start button unit as well but it was not the TRD logo that holds me off. It was the green LED background light which does not match with my 3IS interior at all. I am trying my very best to communicate with the company and hoping to bring this products into the Lexus community. As a result, thank you everyone for participating this GB. This will not happen without you guys!

I'll be replacing the led on my start button to white led. Can someone confirm if it's a T5 led that I'd need?

All the TRD start button came in green background light. I have a 2014+ Lexus IS which all cluster lights are in white LED

This is with the stock 2IS (F) green backlight? Or will the F emblem (F design 2 in blue) light up green?....
