well it finally arrived today.....
well like dru said it does feel abit plasticy...it seems like if you drop it
it would break or something...but hey you get for what you pay..
i heard mazda want 800bucks for so for their flip keys..
as promised im gonna post up some pics so you guys can have a look
well i hope that helps you guys...
and if you do eventually get one....becareful when opening it
cause when i did it...i spent half an hour looking for the spring cause it shot out
Thanks so much for reviewing it and the piccies, i really appreciate it!
I reckon it looks great and would make a pretty cool alternative to the standard key without any real hassle. But for me, its probably a bit much just to get a flip key because i'm content with the standard one i guess .
Does it come with the Honda badge for the back of the key? Or can you use the one from the original key?
well you see where the screw that is alone by itself..on the back
theres like it cut out shape and i looked at the standard key..and that has a shape cut out like that.
so im guessing it is...might have to rip it from the original key
when i get the keys cut..ill tell you how it goes

It comes with a badge to stick over the screw hole.
Just as an aside, the locksmith i got to cut my key said that the key has to be cut very precisely, he said that in the 40 years he's been a locksmith, he's never had to cut a key so perfectly.
It took him an hour and a half to finish it, the key was out by about 1/10th of a mm and he just had to keep cutting it till it was perfect.

So thanks to honda for the extra security.
Sounds insane! I guess thats a good thing though. Would your average locksmith/key-cutter do it for you? How much did that set you back?
WHAT STICKER?!!?!?!? i didn't get any sticker....thats dodgey
hahaha i live down in s.e melbourne and went to a place down in dande.
the guys seem veryy professional...just went to get a quote just then
cost about 40bucks...but i gotta wait a week or two..becuase he said its
a new model...and the flip key's metal is pretty good...they don't want to use
their old machine...so he said its better if i wait until they get in the new machine with sharper cutting things...hence more precision
personally i wouldn't go to the guys that have a little kiosk at a shopping center.
theres actually another seller on ebay remote mania who do really good deals also, they currently have a buy it now one for 49bux, but they also have ones that you can bid on. so you can pick up a bargain if you are lucky
i have delt with them in the pass and their customer service is very good and always wanting you to be happy, so if for some reason you don't get a good one they will resolve your issue asap
