Wow, really? For $6, I can buy a bit of 3M CF vinyl and make 5 of those "key covers." I've made two for my keys, and they're not difficult to make at all. This is just a lame attempt at ripping ppl off. Sorry.

I thought the same, but some people either don't have a steady hand or want to take 5 minutes out of their day to do something like this. If someone is willing to pay for it- I say let them. I covered my keys 2 years ago with the real carbon fiber. I could see people defintely paying for that- pita to work with.

I was about to buy some from a member here but he was nice enough just to send me some. We'll see how steady my hand is and if Ill need to buy some after I mess it up.

Question - what is "real" carbon fiber like? Is it just a harder sheet of material? Not sure that Ive ever seen it not on parts.
