Thanks Pettit Racing for the Group Buy.
I tried painting the flat part of the button but, the aluminum doesn't hold the paint very well.
Next I tried electrical tape but I didn't like the way the button dragged due to the
extra thickness...
I had some left over 1/2" black vinyl pinstripe tape that is much thinner then the
electrical tape.
It worked much better and I was able trim it off the side of the button.
As for removing the original button, I pulled so hard it removed the pin that goes
into the radio....
It still works, it just doesn't "lock" in place anymore.
Has anyone tried drilling holes in the back of our new button to light up the RX~8 letters?

I think I'll just wait until Pettit will take care of painting / anodizing / whatever the flat part of the button so it looks like what EyeBall Fixer did (plus hope they'll offer the button with no carbon-fiber lookalike crap) and then I'll buy one.
Seeing that this will probably never happen, chances are I'll never have such a button. Oh well.

Just got mine yesterday, hand delivered by vice_grip, actually we met at best buy because I live close but that's beside the point. Tamas I felt the same way before getting it, but the **** is so small it really wouldn't be worth it and it really looks 300% better in person. I really wanted the sides black also until I put it in, but now that it's there, really not nessacery. Again, just make sure you be very careful putting the rx-8 sticker on as it's NOT moving once it's there. Thanks again Vice

I finally put mine on today. Had to pull the car cover off 
The sticker had already lost some of it's stickiness on one side. Are replacment decals(RX8) available? I will pay for it if necessary.
Thanks again. **** looks great.

**** really looks good with the lights on! I too am a little worried about the adhesive on the sticker.
Anyone else notice the one on ebay with bidding at $51 + $10 for shipping with 1 day 17 hr. left.
Glad I got in on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will have to go look at that Ebay ****... lol... maybe I should have gotten a few extra to sell there?
if you have any problems with the stickers just send a email to bob@pettitracing.com.
Just tell them you have the **** and are requesting a replacement sticker.
Include your mailing info so you can help expedite the request.

Yeah, I am sorry but the limited number of ***** I had gotten for members is now gone.
You can still get them at www.pettitracing.com/rx8 for $30 + shipping.
Good luck!

Hey bro. The site won't let me purchase the ****. when i try to submit all my info, it keeps sending me to "page not found." maybe i'll call them on Monday, and purchase over the phone. Or can i give u the info to purchase.
