GM Ignition Keys?
Does anyone know where to get the OEM Corvette ignition keys with the VATS pellet? GM dealers want $20+ each for them.
I saw a thread a while back listing vendors who can provide them at a reduced price, but I can't seem to find the post.

You must decode your chip (1-15)(the puck on your key) and then cut the blank to your ignition.

Okay, this guy has them for $10, but I know I saw a post listing a vendor that had them for $2 - $3 + shipping. Still looking....

Keys are $3.25 each here. Cost me .99 ea. to have them cut at a local hardware store.
I am pretty set on keys right now but just might try it out anyway.

Some people are perfectionists...
I already have keys.
But if it were that cheap for GM keys, I'd go for it just for authenticity. The ignition key for my 85 Trans AM has what looks like a briggs and stratton logo on it. The other copy says ACE on it. They, at one point, had the black plastic covers on them. They crumbled off. (Thus the question about quality..) If I cared about that car still, I'd get real GM keys for it, too.
