You bet!

Orange Fury and Highland Green will be available soon.

Imagine this as your start button? :eyebulge:

Bullitt logo as the start button? Sign me up!

I think I'd prefer it in black, but I'm sure guys would love a green option as well :)

Some inspiration! :thumbsup:

I designed these to be 3D printed for base model vehicles. With a small bit of modification to the design, they could be used for the premiums as well. I just have not had the time or access to equipment to make it happen.
I really like the ones that I got from Zack as well .he did a great job on them

I'm sure metal would feel nicer but not worth anywhere near that kind of money IMO. I'd rather spend that on performance mods.

Hey [MENTION=19938]jperls[/MENTION], just saw this for some reason...

Im still on the fence about getting an upgraded button. I love the quality of it but been using resources on other things lately. I really don't like the other options on the market either.

When I test drove a Jaguar F-Type I loved the feel of the start/stop and the performance toggle switch.

In regards to the toggle switch I don't have a 401A so I wouldn't be in the market for that.

If these came in Carbon Fiber I would probably already have it on the car lol. (Hint [MENTION=35589]5spurs[/MENTION])...

Getting some Carbon Fiber dipped samples this week. I still think the Carbon Black button is more stealthy and better suited for the base trim buttons.

You have to understand what's on offer is a hint of Rolls Royce luxury for a Mustang, the quality is so much more than what you can imagine it to be, every touch makes you feel like $$$$. I call it the "Rolls Royce effect" and very few have the skill to pull it off. Performance mods while essential on a Mustang is only every appreciated when you push the car to its limits. Luxury on the other hand can be appreciated even at a standstill. Having the best of both worlds is a good thing so jump off that fence already ;)

The Euro cars really know how to make buttons and switches as well as place things in proper line of sight. If you think it doesn't matter you probably haven't owned one.

American cars are decades behind as far as that goes. It's kind of a whatever sort of works approach.

The spring tensions in the cup holder is a perfect example. These things feel like they are going to fall off. Europeans hate cup holders but they sure know how to make them.

Oh I totally get it. Just figuring it out what finish on my end. Probably Red but also like the black and possibly even the polished silver.

Not crazy about the hydrodipped look. If you do have a real CF piece in the pipeline then I would be very happy to get one of those.

This comment is laughable... I've had plenty terrible experiences with my European cars as well. Poor ergonomics, switch and cupholder failures (since we're focusing on that all of a sudden...) and don't get me started on the "German engineering" Kool-Aid that the marketing folks cram down your throats.

In all my years as an Industrial Designer only 1 thing cures poor design and quality and that's money. THe higher the cost, the more design and higher quality materials you get at your disposal.

And that's why I don't expect my $35-40K+ Mustang to have the fit, finish and quality of a modern M5 and you'll never hear me bitch about a...cupholder.:rolleyes:

I would definitely pay for high quality metal toggles.
up to $250 for my 2015 Base GT
I purchased the tesla style screen just for the Toggles, but they are mediocre.

Do you have a shot of the new screen with toggles? TIA.

Here you go. Didn't install. probably going to sell. They are some type of metal, not that bad on second look.
the complete specs are on ebay, just search for "Mustang Tesla style screen".

Well...in talking with the managing director...they are thinking around the lines of somewhere between $240 and $300 for the four switches...

Yes this is expensive, but considering the quality of the start button...I can only expect incredible things from this company.

In addition, one has to think about how often these switches are used...
I'd go $250. for excellent quality toggles to replace the base push buttons.
Not sure I'd get real excited about a Start button though? Now my flat bottom carbon/leather fiber steering wheel, that changes the whole driving experience!
