    made my traction control button a little more proper... pics inside

    had a random idea while driving on my lunch break so i stopped by my mom's sign company and produced a small run of these.





    they are made from premium vehicle wrap vinyl allowing them to take the contour of the button without bubbles and trusted for the adhesive not to leave anything behind on the button.

    this isnt a FS thread, but if anyone wants one PM me for info... i have more!

    id assume you would probably need a button with the pigtail, but the them together should be the same. what does your look like?

    Ha ha! Classic!

    I had an internship back in the day with Stewart-Ford F1 Racing, we had an extra button on the steering wheel so we labeled it "Missiles." Johnny Herbert goes "really guys? Is that in the rule book?"

    Id be in for black

    Several
    Ha! That reminds me of a game I play in the car with the wife. I tell her that I'm not allowed to press that button (tire costs are adding up).

    Coloring it red would only make it worse.
