    So you want the button to be metal rather than plastic?

    From a fabrication/manufacturing standpoint, the back side of that button will make all of the difference in the feasibility of this idea.

    Could do an aluminum "sticker" it'd ba little bit of a chore to "dish" the backside for a nice fit, but might make it more manufacturable.
    Maybe a hybrid plastic for the complicated bits on the back and aluminum for the face? Flat backside with a domed front.

    I get we all want what we want but is this a need? Even if it is, is it something worth exploring when you have companies like @MESO that make quality parts that many would consider better than OEM. Heck, while I don't know him personally, everything comes with a cost. Why not shoot him a PM and see if this is something he could fabricate for you?

    Working on installing a lift and chewed up the threads on the strut mount, just my luck, hopefully I’ll be able to chase it once the die shows up. 388C6740-AA49-4210-8F6D-E656220F4DFF.jpg

    It’s very easy to get wrapped up in a thought like this.

    “An idea is like a virus.... And even the smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you.”

    For me, after painting all of the fun metal grey interior pieces cement to match the body, I became obsessed with color matching the gun metal grey bezel inside the instrument panel. Doing this became much more challenging then I ever anticipated and it seemed Toyota designed it to intentionally make it difficult. It became quest. I eventually got it done, and sure it looks good, but I wasted so much time and energy that could have been better utilized with more impactful mods.

    The moral of the story is that an obsession with a mod can take up time and resources that could be applied to a mod you would actually enjoy more.

    Removed the vinyl that the previous owner installed. Installed interior delete kit, vent ring kit, vinyl vent inserts. Until the fiancée gets done with nursing school and no longer a single income supporter the mods will slowly roll in.

    Yeah, after I broke my first one I just kind of gave up. Didn't bother me too much but I still think about it.

    Well ya see, it's a little known fact that fabrics only shrinks in one direction. Oh yea... that's why my Jeans shrink around the waist while my t-shirts get shorter.

    [​IMG]

    Either that, or they shrink in both directions and I wear my belt 2" lower than I used to o_O

    Leftover vinyl from my new bedside decals and some knifeless tape. I wanted to make sure they sorta matched the lines going back onto the hood.
