100% agree - don't like the artwork at all. I'll find some spray paint that has a matte finish, cover the light with a tiny piece of tape and it should look fine.

If it's just a sticker, then hopefully we have the option to get it without the logo.

Eliminate the cheezy genie, and the white border and the red in IMS. Have the word IMS Guardian in oem print. Simple.

Simple oem print would be fantastic, definitely not a fan of the current artwork

Thats fine, we'll leave the decals off the switches and put them in the kit for self-installation if someone wants them. That makes things even easier for us.
In some applications cars may have other switches that could be confusing for drivers to differentiate from the IMSG, hence the decal.

You can have it however you want it. I always consider function over anything else.

Back to it......

Default Kicked In The Nether Region

I feel like you all just rared back and kicked me right between the legs......more importantly you all are substantiating my EX-WIFE'S statement when I told her I didn't have any particular taste or "style": "James, you do have taste....its called BAD taste!" Don't miss her one bit.

THANKS A LOT

Seriously, I was really proud of not only the logo, but the fact we could get it that small to fit on the switch. I will give Jake credit; he told me not to spend a lot of time on that part of the project, as Porsche owners were more into function than bling. Again, Jake is proven correct.

So here is our solution: The IMS Guardian will come with two stickers....My "IMS GUARDIAN" bling Logo and a more traditional "IMS" sticker. You can put either or none on your switch once installed.

FWIW I think "IMS" with a happy face would be a good design!

"IMS "

Perfect!

I didn't want to say it but I wasn't too comfortable with him on my dash either since everything else in my car's interior is so low key.

Je voudrais m'exprimer d'une autre facon, but...out of respect I will simply say:

Give me a VERY LARGE BRAKE, Please!

On second thought, give me an EXCEEDINGLY LARGE BRAKE, PLEASE!
