..those are liek 10-12 awg wires as opposed to regular 20awg that are regularly used so just be careful.

Here's my button with the Evo-R carbon fiber dash kit..
1. planning it out.. I just did the lazyman approach and traced the top of button itself
Lots of maskng tape to make sure i don't crack the carbon fiber..
2. Not the neatest hole but a very snug fit and it's all covered up anyways
3. I wrapped the top of my button with black electrical tape so it's not shiny.. It makes the gap not appear as bad IMHO.. it's being held in the back with epoxy glue and 3M tape.. sucker is not moving lol
4. Mine must have been installed a tad bit lower because I didn't have to dremel that plastic support to make it fit!
5. Taaadaaa finished!

I think this button would look look even better underneath my single din deck. Just what would i use to fabricate it in the pocket would be the hard part. Thanks for the write up...

You will solder two wires to the cut end of the white/red wire leading to the starter: one red wire from pin 87 of the relay and one from the interrupt switch. The other wire from the interrupt swith will connect to the cut end of the white/red wire going into the connector.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I was very pleased with the outcome as well. Regarding to the placement that is actually the cigarette lighter that i removed and refitted the hole to the s2k button.
Here's my stab at it. I try real hard to keep my car looking stock so i mounted this sucker in the left air vent. I am VERY happy with the result. I retained the ring around the vent and color matched the plastic and it looks like a stock button. Here you go......
Dang, are you crazy!?!? That's the better vent out of the two that you have on the driver side. You know how hot it can get in the summer. I'd never do that. I love my AC too much.
that is pretty crafty, but he is right, I would miss that vent waaaay too much, its the only one that does anything. I did a couple *quick* chops of the button on the other vent if you covered that over.
Then I had the idea well what about the door panel where the window switches and stuff is. I know it would probably stick out a little from underneath, but that could be taken care of.

I also tested out how it feels and it was fine for me.
