My 2012 991 has entry and drive. The dummy key is a plain black. I think later they updated it to silver matching the dash trim. I'm thinking of getting one in guards red. My car is black on black and the red would be a little touch of color. Sort of like the red ignition button on the new M cars. Why not, it's only $89 (choke).

Silly or cool?

I get it. But I'm a no-bling kinda guy.

Might sound ridiculous, but I recommend switching back to the plain black key when you are ready to sell.

I think it looks good in subtler exterior colors. The bright colors are too much.

Yep, I was thinking it might clash a bit. I'll keep with the simple black.

I'll spend my $89 on something else - towards a SPASM front lip spoiler.

I upgraded from black to the silver to match the rest of the interior. I think I picked it up for about $25 or less (eBay). For me, it was a no-brainer since I always felt that the plain black version looked and felt quite cheap and unbefitting the rest of the interior and the car in general.

You could always take a black dummy key and simply paint or wrap the outside area. Probably save you quite a bit of cash and open up the color possibilities at the same time.

I also upgraded to the silver on my 991.1 Oddly one of my favorite upgrades. The silver not only looked better, but felt better.

I'd like a Red One for some added interior bling. But I'm not paying near $100 for one.

There is a Silver one on eBay for $34.50

I got the silver one from Suncoast for around $30. Worth it IMO.

I'm surprised they didn't go for the push button on the 992.

^ good point. Op, love the red. I Get my car in a few days and not sure what color to change mine to.

I swapped the silver one on my GTS Macan for a Carmine Red one, which matches the red seat surfaces.
But, I definitely would recommend getting the far less expensive versions available all over Ebay. $89 is nuts.

Thanks all. I ended up ordering the silver one that matches the dash. $28 from Suncoast. I can always try pairing the black one red.
