I know there have been several threads on this topic but what is the consensus on the best one to buy as there are SO many. eBay has a bunch but what about these 2 vendors?

I got the carbon fiber ones from Suncoast: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/PKCFKEY.html - I love them and have gotten several compliments on them. Definitely a nice upgrade.

I bought some red $7 ones on Amazon. They worked fine.
Here I found them.

Just a FYI - you don't have to take the whole key apart as in the video if you are just changing out the blades on both sides. Just use a trim tool to pry the blades out and then replace with new blades.

Buy them from Amazon, eBay, etc. No need to pay a few hundred dollars for the same exact part that you can get for $14.99 shipped.
Porsche_nuts is also right; you don't need to take apart the entire thing as the video shows. The sides just pop right out with a proper trim tool.

I also would endorse the inexpensive replacements from Amazon. When the Club Coupe offered "painted key fobs" for a (ridiculously high) price on the order sheet, I passed - but, managed to match up pretty well after I took delivery for $10 on Amazon. Sweet. Here's the link:

Not trying to cast aspersions, but I ordered a white set from chromesupply on amazon. Two days later, I started getting fraudulent WalMart (and other) charges. This was the only first time vendor I had used for that card in a while. I don't know if when someone steals your card #, they wait a month so it's harder to detect where it came from, but just thought I'd ask.
