    These look great will be ordering. Was thinking I do paintfill on golf clubs with Testers model paint I'm sure you could do the same on these just fill the letting by using a toothpick and wipe the face clean and let it dry. A lot of colors available.

    That should be a fairly easy process, some of the grooves are thicker than other so I guess it depends on which button you like but for the TRD for example it would be very easy...

    Would it be possible to get it in red without the 3 hole light passthrough? Or have the TRD be cut as the light passthrough? Regardless, these look awesome

    In no way am I trying to talk bad about these, but is there any way to get one of these with a better surface finish on the front than what is shown in the pictures? I've worked in manufacturing my whole life in one way or another, whether it was machining parts or designing machines and in my opinion a nice machined surface looks better.

    You could easily sand it down. It's raw aluminum, so there's no finish to worry about... Hell, you could buff it to a mirror finish, if that's your deal.

    I'm well aware that it can be sanded and polished or whatever, but that wouldn't be a machined surface then.

    A 32-63 Ra machined surface with slight tool path lines would look badass.

    YES! they actuallly fit any toyota with push start button. We've tested first hand on 4runner, tacoma, rav4, highlander and prius.

    It's possible to remove the 3 holes but its not possible to have the entire TRD be pass through, it is TECHNICALLY possible for it to work the logo would have to be smaller, the light behind it only shines through the very center of the button, it would only light up the R in TRD and a little bit of the T and D.

    That surface is machined, its a curved surface and that might be part of why it looks a bit different than what you're used to, that being said... we will keep it in mind although I have a feeling most people are going to opt for the anodized versions

    It's not obvious from the picture that it is a domed surface. So I'm assuming it's being milled instead of turned on a lathe. I guess I could always take a skim cut on the front surface on a lathe to clean it up.

    Yes it is a domed surface, you're right its not obvious and I didn't mention it before. we could put it on a lathe but then it would take two machines to do it, the back of the button is not something that can be done on a lathe and neither is the design in front so we just machined everything. Making it flat would have been easier but it doesn't look or feel as good and we wanted to make a quality product, after all, you touch this every time you start or stop the truck so it much be well made for it to work, and we hope it does
