I need to confirm a couple things first so if anyone sent a payment and it didn't work out I would just refund. It will probably be around 3 weeks or so before these would be ready to send.
Shipping will be $1.

If you don't want to stick it on top of your existing emblem, I guess you could always put a pick behind it, pry it out and put this one in it's place.

So $21 total.

My factory steering wheel emblem had strange white dots in it, when I took it in with some other warranty work the dealer told me the emblem is not replaceable and they had to give me a new airbag!

Edit n/m someone already said it ...

SweetDaddyD · 05-09-2008, 07:21 AM

uhhh, well it looks like I'll have to include a bunch of legalese along with these

Didn't even think about the airbag thing.
I don't see how it would pose an issue and you would think to go off you would need to complete the circuit by closing the sensors behind the front fascia via accident. However you would think the alarm would work with the interior light being in any position too- so who knows- it is British afterall. Does this mean beating your thumbs on the wheel while rocking out to some good tuneage could give you a face full of airbag too?

Anyway, install at your own risk, and if you choose to, I guess you shouldn't pry the old one off and just put this one over it. If any one is doing this

over the new info and is one of the few that have already paid, I will gladly give you a refund. And if anyone is just laying in the bushes waiting to sue me and get their hands on some of that SweetDaddyDelicious money- well I don't really have anything.

Technically a safety warning should be added to any part installed on the car. A front splitter could affect away the air bag sensors are triggered and deployed. As well as a clam repair, or carbon fiber one. Starshield vs non starshield could even have an effect. Any suspension, wheel, or tire mod could effect the handling, braking, ABS, etc. A carbon fiber door panel may react different in an accident than a leather one, possibly increasing the chance of spleen laceration. Be careful out there folks. If you saw zoolander you could even die in a innocent gasoline fight accident just while filling up. It's a scary scary world out there folks. Be careful.

Shipping price for Canada the same? Any chance of making even a smaller version to replace the mini emblem on the leather shift knob?

CHRISN · 05-09-2008, 11:09 AM

PAYPAL SENT!

Shipping to Canada $2. (I actually underestimated on shipping in the US, forgot if I print through paypal so that it covers me it charges nearly $2. oh well)

Probably no chance of doing a smaller one for an affordable price.

If everything is cool, I look forward to receiving the new emblem.

I spoke with a Lotus Mechanic to double check if a complete replacement was possible. He said no and that it would be very important that I pass on this information to everyone here. The airbag actually breaks through the front black area of the steering wheel at the horizontal line going through the badge. The badge is designed to let go of one half and say connected with the other half so as not to become a projectile while not hindering the release of the airbag.
