Tired of your prius keyfob? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

agree 100% re poor oem fob quality; I was surprised how cheap it feels. three cheapest parts are fob, sun visor, plastic reverse lockout collar. I want to change the fob and collar.

I have the STi leather cover and don't really "hold" it very much in my hand. It's usually always in my pocket and doesn't bother me. Points to you for creativity. Thanks for sharing.

I'd rather have the Mazda credit card fob.. fit in my wallet perfectly. Never took it out.

That's umm... very... sparkly.

Lexus changed the Fob on some of their newer cars... Bigger, lol.

Ours are the better of the two or three Toyota fobs, but yea... Not very "sporty"

Here's a quick fix...Looks like a fit, but I haven't bought one yet. No guarantees.

Yea it's too sparkly for me. It looks like Edward (from Twilight) got exposed to the sun sparkly.

I have to redo the back so I might try a different color. It was the first grey I could find at the store. My goal was to make it look OEM.

Redid the key today.

It looks really good. The only downside is that I drive a BRZ, not an STI

I don't want it to say STI on the fob lol

I feel it :/ Couldn't find a subie logo that would work. STI decals are easy to find.

I bought one from them and it fits like a glove!

Only problem is that they do attract alot of dust from your pockets.
