Hey! The $20 plugs I bought online three years ago are much better!

Plus I got two of them - After the fact that I realized I only had one keyhole on my 04 Verte!

Cool. I think I'll go downstairs to my wife's office and steal a plug from her chair. Then later when she rolls her eyes I can thank her.

Okay, it just dawned on me . . . How do you get it out in case you have to use your key?

Sweet idea! Time to check out my chair and golf bag. When I show the wife my diy projects, I get a funny look (you know the one) then the roll of the eyes, the head shake (you knew it would happen), and then she walks away. The funny part is, We save money on the diy's and its no big deal to them. They get two sets of shoes for the price of one...priceless. lol.

Two office chair plugs trimmed shorter, painted with Torch Red touch up paint, and installed today. Priceless. Fit so well I didn't need magnets.

Great idea.
