Default Key trim

Bought some trims for my two keys from Amazon. Did one in metallic gray (to semi match my Agate) and one in a metallic red - to semi-match my interior red trim. Turned out fantastic

20 bucks well spent.

Here's a link to the product page on Amazon for those interested:

I certainly approve too! Interestingly I noticed one of the ones I got had Porsche part numbers on them... although I don't know if those where genuine or artifacts of copying (I forget which one though). I picked two different colors too so I could tell the keys apart more easily.

One of my fobs had significant wear on the "chrome" parts in the center too, so I bought one off eBay for $20 that had three pieces and it worked great.



I bought another off Amazon and there was a choice of several colors in the price range of $6 to $13. The red was only $6 with free shipping. The fitment was perfect:

Not before correction -- you'd just be trapping the swirls.

Thanks for posting. I just bought my second Porsche and will need these to differentiate the keys.

Good point. Then a nano coating over the PPF.

Love it! So how do you switch them? Are they covers or do they come apart? Is it easy?

Thanks!

A bit of DIY, Not as good as the bought ones, but satisfying

Can you order less than 10,000? Last time I looked at something there (hunting related), the minimum order was 1000 units (and I wanted 1 or 2).
