Keyhole plugs?

[MaykolRolla]

Been wondering were can I get the keyhole plugs for my rolls. I've seen a couple of members with them. So if anyone can let me know where they got them that would be great.

Search "Flawedlegacy"s posts. He bought them from Home Depot and have to paint them to match his car.

I think they got them from the auto parts store....ex. auto zone, orielly's, etc.
they just get the clips for your trunk liner or whatever looks like a tree.. sorry I think thats what they say when they describe it



and then just paint it the color of your car and shave off the clip.....so it wont be a B$%^& getting it out of the keyhole....shave it to the shape of the keyhole...

I tried searching for the thread for you. No luck. Maybe you can PM him.

These will not work. It'll damage the keyhole. IIRC Flawed use just a decor cap from Home Depot , paint to match and silicone to make it stick.

Yeah, that wouldn't definitely fit. The key hole is way more narrow than that screw.

[MaykolRolla]

What if I cut the screw looking thing and double side tape the cap into the key hole

What if you just ordered a cover from Toyota without the hole? I think it should fit over the lock cylinder fine (haven't confirmed myself). Then if you ever NEED to get into there, you can pop it off, similar to what Lexus does.

Like I said, I've never tried this, but I would think it should work without TOO much difficulty.

I went to osh and got the nylon plugs http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...ed=0CDQQ9QEwAw something similar to that...primed painted then cut the back part off then vinyl glued them in..vinyl glue is stong enough to hold it there but when i have to remove them all i gotta do i stick a cc in there n pop it out...best part is that they fit right in the hole so it looks flesh

Same for the trunk...btw the trunk plug is 11/16 (its different from the door one)

hm, sadly, I cannot find that post... I know it's out there, lol.

Yes, I got the vinyl plugs from Home Depot, cut the edges down (trunk and door do have different sizes!), sanded then painted. 3M Molding tape a few layers to get it flat and done. Cheapest mod i've done as plugs cost all of 35c of something.

question on painting them.
i have a blue S
where could i find the paint that matches? would i have to go to the dealership?
and how much would the paint cost/how much would i be getting?

[FlawedLegacy]

you would get something like this...



Touch-up pens can be had at dealership or Advance Auto/Auto Zone/etc... got mine from dealer for $8ish. All you need is your paint code.
