Just bought this to match my carbon interior trim. Although it is not real carbon fiber, it still looks nice.

I got it at ebay. The seller is in NY and a super nice guy. I bought the CF and Chrome, pretty cool. The quality is good compare to the ones I got from Suncoast for 30% of cost. I've been using them for over 7 months and no scratch or peel yet.

Thanks for the reply & link. Last question, was it easy to swap?

They're easy to swap, just make sure you use something plastic to prevent scratching. You have to pry at the side a little.

I have a set of these trim tools and used the smallest one (they are HUGE in comparison to your key, so they are kind of overkill - but it worked!) http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/67021.html

I added the painted sides to my key, in my case.

They were super easy to do, I can swap each key in 30 sec. I don't use any screwdriver so no worry on scratching them.
From the rear, I use dental floss and get it into the slit and pull outward, the casing comes off pretty easy.

I received mine. I ordered a CF for myself, and a white one for my wife. They look great, super easy to swap. And I compared to my friend's $300+ factory painted one, couldn't tell the difference. And certainly not $300 better than my eBay copies. I'll post a pics if you want.

p.s. I offered them $60 for two shipped, and they accepted too.

The ones at Suncoast are $129. The eBay seller is listing at $185. Huh?
