engine start button

Hi guys,
I installed a rain sensor in my 996, so I had no use for the intermittent wiper switch. I started looking into what to replace it with, didn't had alot of option, another power outler? what about a start button??
So I tried a couple of universal kit out there, but they either didn't work or switches really didn't match with the interior decor, so I customized a kit with the proper relay and wires, and found a switch, which sits flush with the trim.
Now all I gotta do is put the key in, press the button and voila!!

Ill post some pics tomorrow if I get a chance...
Whats good about this switch is that you can take off the little cap to customize it, like painting it to the color of your choice or leave it red.
I decided to paint it silver with 911 written on it (its coming not done yet).

here are some pics, the cap is originally red with engine start white lettering.
Also, I modded a power outlet light to light up for the switch.
bad picture quality due to cheap camera.

I tried many kits out there, does not work since they are universal and Porsche's alarm/immobiliser does not tolerate these changes...
I assembled this kit specifically for the 996s, no issue.
I also wired up the light and gave it a oem look.
