Satisfied with CORVETTE KEY?
Not a slam by any stretch- just looking for honest opinions before I buy for my new to me 2000 Coupe...
I know this whole thing was a
waiting for the color inserts...but I see they have them on the site now...
Opinions welcome.

I like mine. The only complaint is the size. I wish it were slightly smaller. Quality is good and the switchblade effect is cool. Works perfect.

I bought one or the first ones and am very pleased with it. I personally don't believe it is too big when compared to having carried the fob and key before.

What is this "corvette key"? You refer to it as if it were something specific. Is it an aftermarket key or something?

I emailed them two months ago asking if/when they will be producing a Z06 CorvetteKey. No answer.

I like it. Yes, it's bigger than the C6 fob, but it fits my pocket better than the key with fob. I don't keep any other keys attached though.

I didn't think the price was out of line considering the corvette tax and all.

They keep inventing ways to get you to spend money on something you don't need. What a waste - only for the vain I guess

I hate mine. It's bigger than the default fob and key combined. Don't even use mine.

That's not a bad price considering that a new fob from the dealer is now $140.

Yes, I am completely satisfied... with never having bought a Corvette key.
