I dont like having the back of my car de badged and having the keyhole just sitting there, anybody have an idea of how much it would cost to have that removed and repainted over??

 

I would say just pop it out and color match it. Thats what i did its very easy to get out. It basically disapeared after that, and theres a lot less cost in that rather than having it filled and repainted. Just my .02 tho...

 

How wud u do that?

 

I'm getting my ss/sc wing shaved and filled and the keyhole shaved and filled and the whole trunk re-painted for $200. I'm good friends with the guy at the body shop who will be doing the work for me tho.

 

Easy just take the carpet off the decklid and infront of the lock look for the bar that attaches the key hole to the lock. Now just push it out it from the inside ,will take some force but it will come out. Than take the rubber gromet off and color match. When you go to reinstall make sure that its in the right way. The bar has an "s" shape to it, just make note witch way it came out.....

I thought that these had not been made for our car yet???

 

those smooth locks make it look kinda tacky

 

Hmm idk wut im gonna do i wanna get that and the antenna shaved down, i might just go to bodyshops around me and see what they say, but thanks to everyone.

 

the antenna shave on the right rear fender will be pretty pricey. They have to repaint the entire quarter panel over again to match the paint right. I looked into having that done while i have my trunk done, just too much money right now. Instead i tried doing what
p7x did and take the antenna off and place a vaccum line cap on the stub and here is the result.

 

but you get 0 reception with that right?

 

you get fine reception radio is gehy anyways

 

nope, none at all. If i wanted to listen to the radio i wouldnt have done that

I never listen to the radio. Never have, never will. XM and CD's are all i need.

 

this thread should be in the Dungeon..............Oh that's another kinda shaved black key hole.........

 

hahaha i was thinking bout that when i posted it

 

sorry..i just thought the title of this thread was hilarious.
