I'm not so sure I like the look of double red buttons.. Now, if you switch the start button with the top button, then the top button with the emergency light button so that the emergency light is on the dash and top button is on passenger side... Nowww we're talkin'.

Honda put the starter button for a reason next to the steering wheel on the opposite side of the shifter.

In cass of a spin on the track, and with an stalled engine, you can put the car quickly im gear with your right hand and start the car with your left. This is the quickest and safest. Putting the starter button next to the shifter will delay this process twice as much.

At least this is what ive read in the past a couple of times.

Pushing the starter button with car running does NOTHING. only would have an affect if clutch switch was bypassed.

There are more productive ways to pass the time then changing things just to change them. As explained about there is a reason for the start buttons location. There is no reason to put it somewhere else, if anything it only hurt the valve of your car when you go to sell it. If I were considering buying a S that had that this mod done my first thought would be "what dumb ass did this and what other stupid shit has he done to f*ck up this car." No offense to those of you who have already done this mod, remember it is not to late to fix it.

To do it just to do it, I can see where you are coming from. If you did this because you removed the factory softtop and would like to mount an afr gauge where the factory start button is located- I can see this as being a good modification.
