That actually doesn't look too bad. Do you have any close up pics?

I tried the paint thing and it didn't turn out as good as I had hoped but it isn't terrible.

I'll post a pic later this weekend.

I also took a small piece of wax paper and mounted it inside to get rid of some of the bright reflections that were coming through.

the picture was at night i will take a better one tommorow, it really looks good and the shade is really close to the buttons.

finished

here is an update of using electrical tape (+33)
the three pices of +33 tape overlap I then took a razor and cut the last half off as you can see in the pics.

the wax paper in the back didn't shade the light enough so i used 3 layers of black sharpie colored scotch clear tape.

qzeek it doesn't look like the **** is sitting flush.

Is it pushed as far as it can go?

The tape looks good.

I just pushed it on I thought thats how it is?
I'll go check to see if it goes down more.
I didn't want to break anything by shoving it.

The install is the same as the removal.....you have to wiggle a little to get it to move along the shaft. The top of the base should be flush with the panel.

**Warning**

If you do tape it like I did, once it is all the way on it will be slightly tighter fit. Very slightly. Not enough to hender its push on and off function, and just tight enough to were you can't feel the click volume up and down.
If someone didn't know better they would't notice it.

Just want to make sure everyone knows this because once its on it will be A PITA to get off if you don't approve it.

BTW once i pushed it all the way on it looks great the color of the tape and the buttons is near perfect.

my digicam is on the fritz or I'd take a pic but man that **** looks slick.
I won't be painting or anodizing or taping I like it just the way it is.
I like the faux C/F background too. And I like the way you can't see the 'rx-8' logo from the side.

it's nice jewelry for the car. and the knee pad rocks too.

thanks for doing this.
