Key hole covers

Anyone can share a link to purchase painted-to-match covers for door key holes?

Many thanks!

I either got mine from Ecklers or Corvette America. They look good but are very pricy (Corvette Tax). They probably cost a dime to manufacture but cost $40. That is one hell of a mark up. Wait until China hears about that markup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Southern Car Parts are the best to work with.

Price: $29.99

They offer a full money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied for any reason.

Someone did that with a 5/8" magnet and used touch up paint. It looked great.

Go to your bank or credit union which has safe deposit boxes. Ask them for a couple of plastic "rent due" key hole covers. Then paint to match. No Corvette tax
