Default upgraded start button

Has anyone installed this upgraded (metallic look) start button in the GS350? Any issues?

Folks have done the swap successfully...see this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...m-i-crazy.html

If you search eBay, there are reputable sellers where the item is coming directly from Japan for that part number (89611-11010) for a lot cheaper: https://www.ebay.com/itm/374324906609

If your paying more than $103 shipped to your door, it's a rip off. Buy from eBay or amayama.com. I have the hybrid Blue LS start button installed in my car, much nicer than the original plastic one.

Your pic makes it seem like the original start button was better, lol. New one looks lopsided and scuffed at the top, just a bad pic.

Trust me, it's neither lopsided nor scuffed, and looks a million times better. Plus I love a concave button.
