Here is one with the better looking button, but of course it does come with a higher price tag.

Hey don't buy that one, you can get that same button for about $30 usually. I'll try and find it for you.

---EDIT----

Here it is, like $38 shipped.
S2000 button

I ask because in one part he said that a wire coming from the ignition switch will no longer be used....
If you cut the wire like in the posted link, the car will only start with the key in the "on" position and then pushing the start button. If you tap into the yellow wire instead of cutting it, you can start the car with the key too. I've got mine wired to only start with the button.

Cool, thanks. Is there any particular reason that you don't want the key to work as well? Would there be any drawbacks to just tapping into the wire and not cutting it?

Only reason I did it that way was because I ran out of wire taps! Was too excited to see if it worked to run all the way into town & pickup some more so I just cut the wire. It's just personal preference (or laziness), both ways work fine.

Would this possibly make the car harder to steal if the ignition switch wont start the car?

I wondered that myself and I have to think that yes, it would make it harder. They would have to hot wire the car (however they do it) and then push the button. If you steal a car, more than likely it will be at night, and you will be in a hurry, so chances are a thief wouldn't see the button....
