Thanks Dennis, Ebay. They come from China so took a bit to get here. Ordered 12-11 and got it today. Watched a couple of videos to be sure I completed the surgery correctly and voila...! Ralph

I found white ones for my last car easy enough. I couldnt find non OEM chalk though. So I decided to go CF look. I knew those thousands I spent on CF on the car would come in handy to match my $7 key blades....

These things are so cheap on Amazon that I'd save the $ and not bother with nano coating after PPF.

I have a variety of replacement colors on our fobs so I that I can keep them all straight - I have four total for the two cars my wife and I share. Since they tend to get scratched up in purses/pockets I can put the pristine factory originals back on if I sell either car.

Did this to both keys, they look great. I noticed on the bottom of one of my fobs that the small button that you use to release emergency key is missing, any idea if this can be replaced without the need of replacing the entire fob?

Amazon. $12 each. (Probably $11 after the trade war ends.)
