I have PTS key blades on mine, I use the leather pouch and they look great. I will take pictures later.

JK. Ordered car with the keyless system and also have the leather key pouch so that the key will always be protected all of the times.

Another vote for the cheap eBay or amazon key blades. I've had mine for nearly a year now with no problems.

It's too bad the ebay boys don't make Miami Blue key blades. Maybe I'll just grab the $120 ones from Suncoast and wrap them with Xpel.

Hah, good point. Does anyone know if they make a quick detail / spray wax for key trims? I'd hate to have to ask my detailer to wipe down my key fob. That just sounds awkward.

I have cheap ebay cf blades, but I keep all of my car keys separate from each other and don't carry any other keys, so they don't bang against each other and stay fresh. The garage door opener is my house key and I don't need any other keys on a regular basis.

I have some $10 sides from Amazon. They're great. I think it's just a colored plastic so no paint scratching issues.

Glad I didn't bother to check that option as I don't think I'd be any happier with the OEM version and it would have cost... was it $600?

Strange that it's not a $195-$295 option as they'd sell a lot more of them at that price and it's basically all profit.

Thats what it is at dealer....$195 I believe. CF from Suncoast is less.

Just got mine off amazon... $9.99 and eligible for Prime. Plastic with color through so no chipping issues. And if it gets beat up the price makes them disposable and replaceable without pain.
