If you order from eBay can you give me the name of the seller if you are satisfied!

My son ordered one for me from http://www.ebay.com/itm/381469504079?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT.

Fit and quality are fine.

One of my favorite Xmas gifts!!!

I read up on quite a few people's feedback on their key covers. Some have horrible fitment and some have reported near perfect to perfect fitment. Apparently some covers have 2 tabs and some have 3. I read that some people ordered from the same company with hit or miss fitment. One company even sent a replacement of the fit wasn't so good and the replacement fit better. I ordered 2 from SMPI on Amazon. I'll know the fitment by the end of the month when I get my car.

porsche standard issue is black
some like to have the key case match the car color for aesthetics
sometimes that is also helpful when there are multiple cars in the stable

eBay I have purchased around 10 in different colors for various cars. The first one I ever purchased was from the factory what a waist of money after I started buying these.

Did anyone get their carbon fiber or chrome? I'm between the two since there's no white.

That's who I ordered mine from. I ordered a red one and a chrome one from them as well. Should be here this week.
