Default Does anyone make a insert to cover the chevy emblem on the key?

Probably a little bit nit-picky but it got me thinking a little if someone made a nice insert to cover the emblem on the non anniversary edition keys.

If no one does seems like a product if priced reasonably could sell pretty well.

I wouldn't want to cover it myself.

Perhaps just paint the bowtie.

It's not nit picky, it's ****. They'd probably sell one.

These are 14MM- They may be enough to go over the bowtie. Cool looking, anyway. I think I'd keep my bowtie, though.

I recommend you just remove it with a 45 round. Makes the key lighter as a benefit.

Can't imagine anyone other than the OP wanting something like this. That's a pretty hideous looking fob by the way.

My 2003 z06 has these. The other key looks better.

I think you might be surprised if someone had a good option like the key shown above.

Hell companies here have been selling rubber covers for the key fobs and have sold quite a few.

I like the difference of the aftermarket one I have, the bowtie is out of place nothing else matches it on the car.

If it were available, I'm sure people would buy it. Personally I don't have a problem with the bowtie key, but wouldn't mind a crossflagged option

I'm thinking this is only an issue if your trying to "flash the keys" to get a woman's attention, which usually doesn't work anyway. The current key looks like we drive a cobalt, kinda sad.

You mean THIS one looks better.. Mine looks the same (2003) I figured the other C5's just had the flags.. Another perk for the '03's!

I would think an automotive locksmith would have the key in stock without the bowtie.

I am OK with the Bow Tie. OP could by a C6. They don't have a key. Not a normal one anyway.

Looks like ill try to contact a company to make something to fill it in with either the Flags or ZO6.

Its not that i hate the bowtie on the keys just think i could make it better match the car instead of looking like every other GM Key they made.
