    Cool Horn button survey

    Got some hypothetical questions for MR.net. I need some help with a new product and you folks seem like the only ones that can give it. I am grateful for any help you can give.

    IF I was to make some horn buttons, which designs would folks want from my store? I'm not really wanting to make up every design I have. And, hypothetically, I don't think my stock of horn buttons will last long.

    Momo or Nardi? Or BOTH?

    and lastly...

    Do you feel $59 each is too high a price for a horn button? I'd love to find some cheap horn buttons and buy by the thousand, but... none have been up to my standards. The ones I'm using are a bit spendy and require a fair bit of modification on my end to make work before I can put a badge on one.

    I mean... hypothetically. The horn buttons I'm hypothetically using.


    Thank you all!

    I would, of course, want my exclusive MS (MazdaSpeed) model (top row center) and my exclusive vintage KGW-style (done in red).

    MOMO is more common so start with that platform.

    I would go after the Vintage Japanese logos.

    Not just Mazda either, take a look on JNC I bet they would gobble the stuff up.

    I want a horn button with my dogs face on it!

    But more seriously Nardi Club NA style!! (So I can put my authentic original one back in its packaging before something happens to it)

    I'm totally down for a Type V black background on a chrome button for a Nardi wheel using horn ring which covers the wheel bolts.

    I'll lay down $60 ASAP for that.

    Please stay to the styles I have in my store. I've already got nearly a dozen different styles and that's hard enough for me to keep in stock. I'm not wanting to branch out or do one-offs. I'm just trying to figure out which 3 or 4 badge styles to do for a horn button.

    1. Type V
    2. mazdaspeed for the NB guys
    3. Type prototipo2 with different color options?

    $60 is doable. We know you dont compromise quality so I dont see a problem in buying a product that we know you will research to find the best compromise between quality and function.

    I think a vintage logo would sell well.

    Sorry about that, just read the first part and saw pretty pictures.

    Keepers are

    1. Eunos V (in black)
    2. Mazdaspeed (in red)
    3. Type 60
    4. Prototipo-2 (but make it in mazda blue)

    And $60 is fine

    Stick with MOMO size since they sell adapters for Nardi anyhow.

    And the horn buttons will be black. It's been impossible to find ANY horn button of decent quality, let alone a nice one that's chrome. I've actually never used a nice Momo-compatible button that was chrome. The one I have with the KGW logo rattles and has flaking plastic chrome. =/ The only really nice shiny ones are the OEM Nardi metal ones IMHO.
