Good luck when the battery goes dead! I've heard of guys doing that and then it ends up destroying the guts of the key making it unusable once you try to break it apart.

I wonder how much someone could make selling key shells machined out of billet aluminum. How much would you guys pay for such a key shell?

Good call! I've noticed a lot of people are going that route. Not me yet....hopefully I won't have a need to!

The local dealer here hired a company in Northern California to make shell replacements. I believe they are called Eternity Key if I'm not mistaking. They retail for about $100. Guaranteed never to brake. You should see their tests on you tube. They also come with a lifetime guarantee. They use military grade plastic.
