That does look very cool...and classy.

But do plastic heads really break that often? I've never had that happen to me.

The newer ones are crap and I've gone through three of them in the past year. I still have the original for the car so I know it's the newer ones that suck.

Me I guess. Or one of the various other folks here that have made them.

The new replacement key heads suck. I've broken several in the last few years. The original molded plastic keys that came with the cars are solid. And don't brake nearly as easily.
