I believe they said it’s a trademark issue

Possible to get LOTUS or EMIRA or both?

Asked and answered summary not possible

Hopefully, all vendors have learned from this thread experience to never ask the community how they want something to look!

As long as you're OK with getting sued into bankruptcy then it's easy!!

Curious if anyone has heard where this stands? It was hot and heavy there for a minute and has now gone quiet. Maybe due to the holidays?

I think Mat posted pics of revised lid design, which should be ready soon. I don’t have much more info.

Not sure if this is representative of final revised design.

I have gaskets waiting for the lids...

They are expected to be done in 5-6 days.

When I had my OEM lid sandblasted, I purchased an OEM replacement gasket in advance and "just in case" but never had to use it. The OEM gasket is made of thin metal, so it came off w/o problem and I reused it with a bit of surface oil, on the new colored lid. I'm hoping I can reuse it again for the VF Tuner lid but if not, I have the replacement waiting.

All that said, you mention (virtualmacho) having "gaskets waiting". Do you think the new lid will need more than one gasket? Do I need something other than OEM? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Oh and since we're into December, let me be the first to wish everyone on the Forum a VERY MERRY X'MAS AND ALL THE BEST OF THE NEW YEAR (ho ho ho).

I bought 2 lids, for a fellow local owner and myself.

Happy Holidays !
