Default Key Hole Covers

Who sells the key hole covers...the plain smooth ones with no logos???

I am doing some paint work soon and would like to get a set to try out I think. Does anybody have pics of a set on a car painted body color (other than black of course!)

do you think the sticky tape could be swapped out for some really strong magnets? i thought about getting these but in the winter i store my car and sometimes lock the doors or have to get into the trunk with the key and wouldn't want to have to retape them every time i took them off.

I havent seen a magnet used before. I would imagine, though, that if you could get some thin enough magnets and stuck that to the back of it you would hardly be able to tell any difference except easy removal. The hard part would be finding a magnet for it.

Ws6store.com sells them and they are a sponsor here. I order a majority of my stuff from them.

I painted my smoothlocks last summer. I have more pics in my sig. If you want a closer look, go to my fquick and look at the high res pictures. I tried to post them, but they were replaced with Simon Cowell?

I highly advise it. Of all the things I've done to the car, I commonly get questions about these $10 little key covers lol. They will look good in SOM
