Default Customized start button design

About 2 months ago I came across a Japanese company that specialized in customizing start button for most of the JDM vehicles, so I had my connection in Japan to shoot them a email see if they can customize a start button for my Lexus 3IS. Last month I have received the final product. It looks fantastic but there was a slightly gap between the start button and bezel. I contacted them regarding the fitment issue, but it seems like the start button part they used for Lexus vehicle is a Toyota part which fits fine just having minor gap between the bezel which I can live with. Anyways here are some pics for the final product itself installed on the car.











So now I am working on a diff design for the F cars with my designer and hoping you guys can provide some feedback on my design as I am planning to run a group buy on these start buttons soon.

#1






#2






#3






#4






Upon request to add 2 new designs but unable to edit the poll, pls reply your comment with a pic either one of the two design below to submit your vote. I am closing this poll by Sunday, hopefully we can come up with 1-2 design for the F car owners.

I like the "F" logo with "engine start" layout as in the first one.

I really like the red! Would you consider just an "F" logo? I'm pretty sure "start/stop" is self explanatory with a big red button!

I like the idea of just the 'F' logo on the button - maybe with just 'engine' on it.

I like the F Design but with Sport written below. Basically like the first one without engine start. Just a quick question how hard is it to remove the oem button?

This is awesome and thanks for doing this for the community. Looks good, but my one concern is the 'F'. It's a bolder F. See pic.

Blue one for me, if reasonably priced.

Edit: I linked this thread in the ISF and GSF forums.

The reason I am designing the F in this style because it does not look good at all with the original design. If you look carefully, the design of the F logo for the F cars tends to be more aggressive comparing with the F-Sport.



This is how it look with the original factory design.

Thank you for doing that. The cost of these start button is not cheap due to it's custom made, but we do get 10% off if group buy unit reach 20 for one design.

I like the #3 Red one in the pics and would purchase - I would also be interested in just the "F" without the words. I'm assuming it's reasonably easy to remove this part of the dash to access the button - but step by step instructions will be appreciated.
Nice work!

A thought - How about 'RC" on top and the 'F' logo below only

Luke,

Since, this product is custom...I'm interested in a "Blue Mega Sized Original F-Logo that's centered with the circumference of the Start Button pictured below." Basically, take that same product below remove all those words "Enlarge" the "F-Logo" and center it to the product using all the space that the backlighting will light up. Then, call it a day...
