I tried searching, and couldn't find anything helpful.
I want to replace my key fob with a carbon fiber one. As in remove the guts of my key, and place into a carbon version. I would prefer not to wrap it, not worth it to make it look cheaper.
Is this even possible, and does anyone know how/where to get one?
Maybe some of you have seen one, I know the Spec V's have it.
you know the more i look at it, the more it looks like a casing that just goes around our key. Kinda like those bic lighter covers they sell at gas stations.
Carbon fiber blocks RF transmission, so it's the biggest reason why there aren't any full carbon fiber cases out there. (The SpecV cover is an exception, but the bottom is still aluminum to help mitigate that problem.)
I have have one SpecV case on my spare key. It's beautiful dry carbon and works fine but it's over $600 msrp. To me it was well worth it to have a key different to an Altima key.
Or a vendor could produce a similar key case which would be a limited run with a serial number and your forum name or whatever you want milled on that Al block
Say 35 pieces, I call number 35 ..... 23 or 10, depends on price and feedback
As much as I would like to differentiate my key, I am thinking carbon wrap might be better - especially given the comment that real CF blocks the radio waves. I like having long range on my remote.
The wrap was exactly what I was thinking about. A lot cheaper for essentially the same thing, plus the key will still fit into the key slot. Looks like a Yahoo Japan auction - not sure if they will ship to the US. Maybe "group buy" just to save on shipping?
I found that from Yahoo Auction which I have access to. Unless you have a Japanese account, its almost impossible to buy anything from there.
I have not personally seen the items but suspect it should be pretty good. Not including shipping its about $20 USD but I dont know what it would cost with shipping to the US. It should weight next to nothing. Again, happy to organize a group buy and send it to one address and then that person can mail it off to everyone else once in the US?
Actually, I just read the ad and its by Hasepro. It doesnt look like it wraps around the corners and just covers the front and back so I dont think you guys would really want this.
Anyone want to nominate themselves as the group buy organizer in the US? I don't mind ordering it and sending it to one address and it will probably be cheaper than mailing individual items from Tokyo.
Let me know and someone start a list.
