Today, we have a quick mod for the A90 Supra and that is to replace the engine start/stop button.
For this project, I’ve decided to replace the stock button with Golden Wrench Supply’s Blackline Performance Engine Start Button. I decided on this one because it’s very different than what many other manufacturers are producing. This particular option is wrapped in a red casing which is nice because it matches my Supra’s color scheme but for me, the big appeal of this button is the glass that makes up the section that is actually pressed. In the middle of the button is the engine start/stop indication and around that is a specially cut bezel that actually refracts the lettering when viewed at the right angle. I think this looks insane and is why I purchased this button. Also, if you’re wondering, this button does still retain the OEM illumination. The illumination actually makes the lettering’s refraction look even crazier.
When it comes to installation, there are two common approaches. You can either remove the various trim pieces around the button and center console to get to the button’s housing or you can simply rip the stock button out and replace it with the new one. I’ll be doing the latter.
For this, you’ll need something very tacky. I’m personally using a small chunk of detailing clay that I’ve shaped to be able to both grab the stock button and give myself something to hold on to. All we have to do is attach the clay to the stock button and once it’s firmly in place, just give it a quick pull and the OEM button should come right out. At least in theory. To be honest, it took me a couple of tries because I was doing the install in a colder climate. If you didn’t know, detailing clay is stickier when it heats up. So keep that in mind if you’re going with a similar approach. Once the stock button is out, it’s just a matter of taking the new button and pushing it into place.
And just like that, we have a minor mod that can really add to the general appeal of the interior. I have to say, of all the minor cosmetic changes that I’ve made to the Supra, this has got to be my favorite. It’s one of those things that likely no one will notice but I know about it and think that it pushes the minor details over the top. I really like this mod and can definitely recommend it to anyone interested.
