*trying to install sti limited red hazard button*
i got this far, but the 3 screws are screwed in really tightly - i sat there for awhile trying to unscrew them, but w/o luck - any tips on how to get remove them w/o stripping them? thanks!

1. try harder?
2. user a longer screwdriver for more torque powAr!@#!@#!@
3. elbow grease
4. try harder?

i remember they were tight but with a little effort they came out.

I think my image host is being blocked by some of the web filtering proxies out there (websense, etc.)

the images load up just fine for me, but we don't have any filtering @ my office.

You might need to view these from home or another PC.

http://images.m0nkey.org/installs/dash/ has the raw directory of all of the photos.

haha nevermind...i was able to get them off using a longer (and better) screwdriver. (<--haha "that's what she said!" har har har...*ahem* :-P)

with the new button installed, it looks very clean! thanks for the clear and easy to understand instructions! :-)

oh yeah, i don't know if this applies to all '06s, but i didn't see a button on the shift boot (to unbutton). just a heads up if ppl didn't know already.

Sick dash....For all you people that dont want to spend that much on the dash kit. A piece of 1000grid sand paper. Flat Black Paint. Will get you all of that except the center of the a/c knobs.

do we really need to get the silver rings if we dont care about the red light up parts? is it the same as the stock ones other then the red inserts?

STi_Guy04 · 03-04-2007, 06:15 PM

Does anyone know if it is possible, to convert the 04 Sti dash into the JDM S204 version?

Ohh Just seen i cant

I`ll have to check out some the S202 or see how hard the S204swap would be!
