Rx300 And Lx470 Keys Panic Button

[LexKid630]

why are the panic buttons on the rx300 and lx470 pink instead of red?

More importantly, why aren't they pink?

The rubber or plastic for the button is dyed with a color. In this case it's red. I'm guessing Lexus found that they could cut costs by putting less paint into the mix when making the buttons for panic, while they still stand out from the black ones.

Whoooooooooooo cares!

I think the buttons started out red, but have oxidized with age and have faded to pink. The seatbelt release buttons on my Mazda Miata have faded to the exact same shade.

The only solution would be a soft Dremel tool bit and some paint polish (mildly abrasive). But I seriously don't think it's worth the effort.

Even at purchase the panic buttons on the rx300 key are pink. I've owned 3 rx300's and all of them new were pink (but i got our last rx300 CPO). I find it so weird...
