Yeah, after I got my 996, it took me a while to get used to inserting the key on the left side, but after a while I realized that I had become amphibious and could use either hand, as needed, to start cars.
Good ole' Charles Shackleford made the "amphibious" phrase famous. Unfortunately that's one of the more memorable moments from our local NC State graduate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Shackleford

Nice mod by the way, tastefully done.
Loved that line back in the day. I use amphibious as often as possible. That and bulimia, to reference someone who can read minds.
If all you have to do it get in the car and push the button like many modern cars have with the smart key fobs than it's great! otherwise, I 'm fine with starting my 911 the old fashioned way with my left hand

He turned a 2 step process into a 3 step process. I don't really see the improvement.

And his other endeavours made him ambitious and avaricious. I'm still ambivalent about the start button.

1) Insert Key
2) Turn key
3) Push button ????
Why?
Actually It was 3 steps...
1) insert key
2) press clutch
3) turn key
and It is 2-3 steps now!!
1) Insert key
2) turn key to start or press button!
If you look at my post on 6speed, you'll see that I did this mod the cover the wiper switch hole after I installed the rain sensor. I think its better to put a start button, than another power outlet (useless since I don't smoke or plug anything there) or just a ugly cap.

Personally, I would never start a manual car without pushing in the clutch. Sorry, this mod seems pointless to me but what matters is that you like it.
I think it looks pretty spiffy!! And a rain sensor sounds also pretty good...problem is when it rains where I live SOCAL I don't drive the P-car. love the push button idea... think that I am too lazy to install.
