I got this one too and it is really good. It is super easy using the sticky stuff. I am no expert but it took me about 15 seconds. Do not do what IND suggests and take apart the dash. That's ridiculous.

Ignore the seller in this case. I read through the questions myself on the sale ad and it threw me off as well. I didn't ask the seller for confirmation. I figured, if it didn't work, it's a negligible enough of an amount or, you can always send it back and get a refund.

Just curious if the M1 & M2 buttons could be pulled out the same way and modded with red ones:

I just did this mod by pulling out the black button with sticky putty in 2 mins - supper easy as previously described. I actually found a complete M5 red OEM start switch on eBay for $65 shipped. It’s more expensive but it’s OEM and the illumination matches with the rest of the buttons at night.

Did you have to take apart that whole carbon dash piece to do so?

I ordered the IND blue button (which doesn't come with puddy), but used a small amount of duct tape and it worked like a charm. Took literally 15 seconds.

Yea I sure anything sticky would pull it right out but other things like duct tape might mess up original button idk if that matters to anyone..

Start/stop button easy peasy.

On the m1/m2 buttons you cannot remove them from the front. You have to do some minor disassembly with the left shifter paddle and airbag. Nothing major. Both mods make a bold difference.

I was worried about that, but since I didn't have any puddy I had no choice. Luckily nothing happened to the OEM one, looks pretty stout, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
