Default Where are the Key Hole Covers?

We have had a ton of customers asking me "what ever happened to our Corvette C5 Painted to match Corvette C5 Painted Keyhole Covers ?"



We have been selling these things since 2006 and turns out someone who manages the web site moved them into a category where nobody would look.



Anyway, here they are for those that are looking for them...
Corvette C5 Key Hole Covers

Now you can hide that keyhole (also keeps debris out of the keyhole so when you need it, it is clean and ready to use). Our Patented design is perfectly color-matched with OEM factory paint and clear coated for a perfect finish. We have all C5 factory paint available from 1997-2004. The Invisi-Lock is made from high quality, nickel plated magnet (not some hardware store hack job) which snap into place without any modifications and can be removed just as easily if your key fob stops working.

- Built to Last - Nickel Plated, primed, painted with
base coat, and six layers of clear coat.
- Very High Quality
- OEM Paint for a perfect finish
- Easy to install



Thanks,

Jim

I'm sure the majority of you know this, but any Z06 will only need one cover

the 97-99 cars had key cylinders in both doors, 2000 dropped it on the pass side

Easy to spot a red or black 99 FRC/Z06 clone this way

Very true.....this is the reason we sell them individually.

Thanks,

No, give it a try......First you have to have a magnet cut the correct size and thickness to fit the key hole, make sure it is a magnet that will hold correctly, Nickel coat it so that it will last, put some kind of backing on it so that you can still get it out of the keyhole, and then paint it to match the OEM color.

I am sure you can knock it out in a weekend....Save 20 bucks and see what you can come up with ........

I'm not happy with the plastic ones either.
I bought one of your plastic ones a few years ago and it's cracked and turned from black to a purpleish color.

Give any credit on a trade in?

We have not sold the plastic ones in over 4 years and carried them for maybe 2 months.

Shoot me a PM with your name, I can work with you if you actually got it from us.
