Default Key Chain

Any recommendations for a key chain fob for my C7? I bought one from Amazon and already lost the logo. I would appreciate any feedback as it really bothers me that we get a basic GM key fob. Thanks!

What do you mean about a basic GM Key Fob? You should be getting something like THIS.

For the key chain maybe THAT?

Umm if u lost the logo on the key fob itself, not sure if u can find just that logo and glue a new one one it. I thought the keys that came with my car where fairly unique, i mean i know the fob design over was probably used on many other gms itself, but it does seem to have at least a corvette touch to them.

I got these on my spare key:

It stays in my pocket when driving the C7, so I don't care what it looks like.

Definitely. But since this is a C7 with individual seating, I bought a blue and a pink one so we don't grab the wrong ones and have to reset the seats. Also, we need something with a ring to hook onto the key hooks.

Many vendors sell a cover for the factory key fob, including Mid America, Ecklers, etc. If the emblem fell off your fob, a possible solution is to just get with a sign company and see if they can make you a small decal of the C7 logo and stick it on the fob. Not as nice as the factory emblem, but it will look good at a fraction of the price of a new fob.
