Default Tailight filler pannel, no keyhole?

Yes, is there somewhere I can get a filler pannel that does not have a keyhole already in?

No. You'll have to build it yourself.
It has been done once before tho.

Don't do it. I did it to mine, then, my hatch release broke under my dash AND on my key fob. How the hell you plan on getting in then? I had to cut the bondo out and re install the key latch thing.

You can always buy a keyhole cover like Afterthoughts.com use to carry.

Not sure who has them now, but at leat they won't stick out like a sore thumb.
Here's one place that I found them:http://www.phantomss.com/smoothlock/gallery.shtml

Thanks for the link to smooth locks, I already have them !!

Dude that's unlucky. How did it look filled with bondo? Like, could you see it was filled, or did it blend in well??

You know you can just climb in there and turn the little lock with a flat blade screw driver right??

I've had to do that a few times. Mine is totally filled in and my battery died a couple times and it wasn't a blast getting myself in there with the roll bar in the way but I did it.
