I don’t like the key fob.

Hey, even I have limits. Yes, I do!
They could be real, 100% natural, DeBeers Diamonds and they would be god awful gaudy looking.
This is just cruel. What has been seen, can't be unseen!

Typically you would be right in your initial assumption in me being full of BS. But in this case Yess indeed its custom. The detailer who was ceramic coating my car saw my key fob and was like WhaaaOOOoo!! To is absolutely no way that we are not not doing that. So he ceramic coated it also when he was done with the car. I doubt that does anything but still a win for me.

I got this done at last years car show at UCONN. There was a vendor that was offering the services for custom keyfobs. 2 days later I got mine back. He was local in CT. I tried doing the search on the googles and couldnt find anything. If I locate my receipt, I can share the email from him.

LOL.....I meant I wouldn't pay to have the fob custom painted with a powder coat. Would I have the fob protected with a nano ceramic coat? I wouldn't rule that out in totality!

We all learn to live with mysteries of the universe, such as, why does Hawaii have an interstate highway? Or why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? But until reading this thread, I was grappling with a Mercedes-Benz mystery. My car arrived exactly as specified except for exterior color. I had ordered Selenite Gray Metallic; it came in Iridium Silver Metallic. My dealer does not know who changed the color, where, when, or why. It was a mystery.
The answer now seems obvious. MB sent me a silver coupe with black sunroof to perfectly match my silver key fob with black buttons. Thus sparing me from the challenge of hunting down a key fob cover that matches the car. Is this unbelievable service, or what?

Why is a dime smaller than a nickel?
Why are there no "B" batteries?
And why would the Flintstones celebrate Christmas?
Footnote:those are from a book whose title I don't remember.

Hey nycebo, did you get a tracking number with your Optix keyfobcondom order? It's supposedly coming from Washington State, but when I enter the tracking number in USPS.com it still shows as pre-shipment without any movement since I got the number. Does yours show anything different?

Only pre-shipment notice on the tracking number, same as you.
Meanwhile , @jl199986 I loved that scene, both in the book and the movie. It's called bone.
@vic viper admittedly your key looks undamaged, but man, do I detect a speck of dust or two? For shame!
Sadly, my main key has a modest scuff on one of the corner from dropping it on the road. Egad. The cover puts it out of site out of mind. I daren't use the "second" key; it is hermetically sealed inside my safe.
