Original VS Ebay. I am not into China knock-off's but this thing is non functional and the quality/price is excellent.

BTW - The factory silver ones are much cheaper than the painted ones:
~$30

vs
$85

but as mentioned - the eBay/Amazon ones are great.

Amazon Amazon

Maybe the previous owner had changed my original one to silver, but it's not black. I was stupid and paid a ton to Suncoast for my carmine red one 🙄

That is $29 USD I paid $17.43 plus free shipping. But you are correct the silver ones are much cheaper that the other paint to match colours.

Sit in the car and lie one of your real keys just outside the door and then turn the key a couple times, which will generate a message that says to turn the dummy key left to remove.

Contact Eric at Bumperplugs.com - he painted my keys, and many more parts over the years...better than OEM.
