Default New “F” start/stop button. DO NOT OVERPAY

Just installed this new Red “F” engine start button in the RCF! Definitely looks cool but DEFINITELY not worth the cost.... I assumed it was a whole new start button assembly and happily paid the $150. When it showed it up it was just a small plastic cover that pops in when the old one pops out. I’m fine with it now since I already bought it and installed it but do NOT buy it from FTP motorsports. I’m sure these things cost no more than $5 to make. Just trying to save some of you some money. Don’t be dumb and overpay like I did🤷🏽*♂️

Definitely looks cool but $150 for just the switch cover does sound like a gouge.

Agreed - if anyone finds an affordable cover, please share.

Rahim523 - thanks for sharing your experience.

You posted on the FB page also right? I saw the pic you posted when you first bought it and I was wondering how they actually made it. The pic made it look like a sticker tbh.

Thanks for the heads up though brotha!

Took a very thin flexible knife and carefully(not really) pried it off until it popped off and hit the back seat lol then i just popped on the new one and thats it!
