Just got my new JDM Vortex key !

Post by H-top » Tue Aug 10, 2010 8:29 pm

I've been waiting 3 weeks for my key to
land from japan!
And finally at lunch today, it rocked
up at work!!

Very nice and a pretty green light when u can't
find the lock!!

Total JDM wank factor! No more useful than a normal
key, but worth the wait!

Check my photobucket for pics!

Cheers,
Sam

Brank spanking new!
Retail is $40 depending on which
sodding Subaru dealer u talk to.
I think that is the price as soon as
they work out what the key is for
and why someone wants one!

Very nice

My first L came with that style of key - light worked with a new battery, but not as spanking new as that.

I'm making a new face for it, it's just a printed lexcen cover but changing it a little bit,
instead of unleaded only, have 98RON only
and stuff
like that.
And so it's new and scratch free

Colour the dials pink and wank factor is guaranteed to triple.
