Default S2000 "Engine Start" button install?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good DIY out there...I found a fairly crappy one. Also, do you HAVE to relocate it or can you put it in the stock key spot?

Prelude online has 2 or 3 under their FAQ section. If your not a member it costs $6 but they go step by step with pics.

Easy way around that is to keep the key so you have to turn the ignition on and then use push button start, like on the S2000.

It's the only fail safe way to do it really. Aren't they trying to copy the S2000? It has key ignition for added security. Don't all cars w/ push start?

IMO the push button start on the S2K is :ghey: That is the only thing I dont like about that car.

If I had one I would think of a way to remove it. If you have a key how friggin hard is it to turn it a 1/16th of a turn to start the car.
