VF Tuner - Upgraded Supercharger Lid

[VF Tuner]

1-off / customs are like triple machinist costs...

If there can only be one option, may I suggest as close to OEM as possible?

Then those that want to customise can go to town on it as much as they like.

Otherwise you’re going to end up with something that makes one or two people happy but the rest of us won’t bother to purchase.

Personally don’t really care how it looks, more how it works and price.

Lower key the better

Just a whole bunch of ridges (for.increased cooling) and maybe a small VF logo in the bottom right corner works for.me. No lettering, no licensing hassle, minImalist design.

V6 Supercharged is all I would want. I would not purchase it with a VF Logo on it. We all know it's an Emira, and a Lotus. What most people don't likely know, is that it's supercharged, or a V6.

Deep down, I feel the same way. However, it is a commercial product developed and marketed for profit, so would only be fair to have the logo of the business somewhere.
A screw-on metal plate that the end user can choose to modify as fit would be nice.

Looking at the pictures provided by VF it looks like you could have any existing raised decals milled out and replace them with you own engraved decals (or panel). You would likely also need to anodise it again if you had it colour anodised. It would probably easiest and cheaper to find a local machine shop to do that and then you can have it exactly as you desire?

We are going to provide 1 design. Customizing each lid for each persons unique taste is just not possible.

Makes sense, and I don't think anyone on here will deny that. I think there may be some confusion as to where we are with that one design: Could you please confirm if your request for input regarding the lid design is still outstanding, or if you have already decided on a design. If the latter, we can all shut up and wait for the details.

Btw, it's not a knock on VF, I think what they are doing is great. I just don't want their logo on such a prominent feature of the car. I would tell any enthusiast though what the product is, and its benefits.

I agree with this exactly. Having VF somewhere on the product is absolutely fair but making it really prominent is definitely a turn-off and ultimately a questionable business decision if you are trying to maximize sales. Just my opinion.. You do as you please.

With the whole one-off thing.. honestly I was half-joking while at the same time seeing if it was possible.. just in case..
