Lost Key?

Well the inevitable has happened. Bought my car and it came with 1 key. Meaning to get a second one and been following the threads about cool keys. I haven't had any time lately and barely get to drive my fun car. Well drove it Friday parked it at home and a friend picked me up and a bunch of us went out of town. Noticed the key was in my pocket and I was nervous.... for good reason because it fell out at some point and now I have no key.

Options?

If I have title, proof of ownership.... ect along with the VIN can my local dealer look it up?

I feel like ultimate fail right now

Now my question would be can I get an awesome case from Suncoast like all the cool kids and just by the key itself from the dealer. I need to make some calls. Who is the man to talk to at Suncoast?

You can get the dealer to order the key with the 911 case head if you want. They will also have to program the key to your car.

Arron or Steve .......... You can't go wrong with either. They have both helped me in the past. No problem!

if you dont mind but how much was it for a new key.

I lost my GTO key before and it cost me 130. Thought that was bad.

Key, head, and programing will be in the $250 ballpark from what I have read in the forums.

Please let us know how this works out for you. I too bought a car and only received one key. I am always worried I am going to loose mine too. I just live north of Suncoast so I really need to drive down and see their stuff.

No grease! Prices are reasonable. They're promoting holiday discounts on their products. I just brought a bunch of toys for my ride.

Talked to Rick today at Suncoast in Sarasota. Great guy and got me a quote on parts in minutes and they were very, very reasonable. Not an ad, just a testemonial.
