Default Can someone confirm that these key chains are OEM?

I want to purchase a brown key chain to match my macadamia and ran across these. I've never seen ones with the back recessed like this. Anyone know if they are real? If so, part number?






Also a PSA: Don't purchase the knocks off online; they're about half the price but the quality is absolutely disappointing. Plus, the OEM ones are only about 24 bucks at the dealer.

I currently have these:




Cheers,

J

Does it matter? It's a keychain.
And that brown one looks beautiful and appears to be very nicely made.

I have a couple of OEM ones and they don't have the embossed back.

I bought my black one at the dealer, but I don't think it has the embossing on the back. Keys are at home so I can't verify that right now...

Spent $30 on Amazon for a black keychain from what I thought was an authorized dealer.

I was showing it off to a friend and she goes: "why does it say StuttCart on the emblem?"

it was from a blog somewhere but I came across this on google images. I don't think it's OE. But the quality looks decent.

How is it that a keychain "sucks".
It's just a ring with a hunk of leather.


Quick Reply: Can someone confirm that these key chains are OEM?
