Someone did it to their EX sedan... looked good but i would have put it where the hazard light button is, and just made a custom switch or something for the hazards.

Some people have also installed it to the left of the hazard light switch where that little 3 slot small vent is.

hahaha what, painting your OEM wheels and putting on "jdm" emblems don't mean you're cool? Guess tinting your tails and upgrading to red or blue interior lights will do it. Then take a ton of pics!

Unless you're referring to the swapping of red emblems and tinting taillights, rice (the red emblems...yes), I wouldn't hardly call them ricers (since I very rarely see the "ricer"). Just a bunch of whining-*** kids.

Oh wait....HT has that too.

Sounds like any affordable sports car forum with a bunch of high schoolers/college students whose parents buy them nice cars like mine did, and I was the same damn way until I had to actually afford life on my own.

I know. I'm the one doing a lot of the helping over there.....*sigh*

Not sure if I'd want a push starter in the car. It's not really practical, nor is it all that kewl considering when I did it in my Legend, I still had to put the key into the ignition. I have to say though, I felt very sexy when I pushed her and the car turned over. Yum

You can make push button where you can either turn the key and use the button, or just use the button exclusively although you'd still have to turn the key to IGN2.

Just depends on whether you want to cut the starter wire away from the ignition harness, if not you can keep it there and just tap into it to use both.

I guess if you wanted to you could mount the button somewhere where no one would think it would be and use it as a somewhat security feature.... since the key wouldn't work to start the car.

I considered using a kill switch for the Legend, but for security purposes, it was the worst decision I could've made.
