I recently took off my front license plate cover and plugged it. Well I had some plugs lift over and yesterday I came across a how to make lock covers out of the very plugs I had left over. I thought Ill just try it. Here they are

Anyway what do you guys think? Ive got some color match paint on the way but I've also had a couple people tell me to keep them black. I may paint the ones in the door and leave the trunk black. Then again I may just take them off...haha i dont know.

 

Everyday someone comes up with something cool.

I like this idea.

Looks good.

 

paint em!

 

what plugs did you use? and how did you get them to stay in?

 

here are mine painted!!!



I don't have a pic of the door handle one yet, but it's the same damn thing, just painted to the body color!

 

Ummm, I just painted mine.... Krylon fusion and clear...make sure you scratch of the surface first with some sand paper or steel wool

 

can you post a pic of the plug by itself??? where did you get them??

 

so where can you get this plug from?

 

I wish I could do this, but having no keyless entry makes it somewhat hard (not leaving my doors unlocked all the time).

I'll have to install an aftermarket system and possibly try this.

 

they came in a pack of 9 at autozone. I dont have the package anymore but its something like gm and chrysler fasteners or something like that. at autozone they come in a orange package for I think $2-3. I also believe they can be found at lowes in the hardware section. As far as getting them to fit, all I did was trim some of each 2 sides off and sanded them down a little til they fit right in the lock. The one on the trunk I plan on using some double sided tape to make it stay cuz it wants to move a liitle

oh yeah there is a how to over at the g5club.net forum. I think its on the first page. I would link to it but Im just on the ps3 and done know how to copy the link in.

 

How will get in ur car if the battery on ur keyfob fails or you lose it? I mean are those covers siliconed on or superglue

 

Just yank one off and put it back on later. You aren't going to put anything over the keyhole itself (no glue or other substance that you can't get off) so you won't have to worry about the key not working.

 

Ok so it's just pushed in. I would probably do the trunk but don't see the point in doing it on the doors. You can't hardly see the keyhole anyways there cuz it's sunk in

 

yeah they pull out pretty easily

 

this is my trunk cover

 

someone should def post a pic of the plugs in their original box so we know what to get.

 

well i got mine at http://www.grafxwerks.com/index.php

 

here is a howto i did tried to post it here but i never got approved but figured ill post it if you want to use it

http://www.g5club.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5930

 

Looks good man.

 

I'll check around just to make sure I dont have the package but I'm pretty sure I tossed it

 

Well I was actually able to find the package along with the receipt(sp). They retail for $2.29 plus tax.
