Oh ya... I guess I could specify... I got the Keytechniques Keyhole Covers.

They're not bad. I feel like $18 is too high for them though. Maybe $12-$15 would be better. Don't know. But I honestly have never inserted my key into the door since I've had the car, so might as well cover them up.

I wish I could make them cheaper but they are hard to make. My partners fingers are worn down to the nub making these.

Thanks

Well they're not bad or anything and I am happy with them... I'm really just being critical of my $18.

No problem at all. I will try to fine ways to make them cheaper but for now this is the best that I can do.

THESE ARE NOT HARD TO MAKE You get a pair of push in buttons from your local body shop. Trust me they will not charge you. Then you paint them and thats it. It costs 30 dollars a touch up can with shipping (not even that much) and you paint em, and then you have a whole can left of touch up for your self. These guys should be charging 10 MAX for these.

Wrong. You will not have the same product.

I will challange you to make a pair and send them to me. If they are better or the same as my product I will give you $100 no questions asked.

I use only chroma based paint and the spray can stuff is laqure based. I also only use german clear. The plugs you speak of do not have the esentric style nessesary for these locks and if you copy them then thats what you will be doing.

Please prove me wrong.

BTW I have to thank you. Every time you come on these threads criticizing my product without even seeing them I tend to get more orders.

I bought these covers a few months ago and I'm very happy with them. The paint is still perfect and they look great.

R+M. I was going to go with Dupont or House of Kolor but House of Kolor isn't that great of a brand it just has a popular name that sponsored movies and Dupont isn't as great as R+M. Dupont also just has a name that sponsors NASCAR. R+M is the way to go!
