I finally got my shell in and I'm not overly impressed at this point. It functions fine but the screws that came with it were a joke and stripped instantly. I now have to find new screws. Second I'm in Houston and have called 6 different places that don't cut this type of key. So now I have no idea what to do. Hopefully I can find someone to cut it and then go from there.

^Cheap as hell. All the places I called/tried wanted $100+. I kept telling them I don't need anything programmed, just the key CUT. Finally had a guy come out to the house and cut it in the back of his truck. $40 later I had a new key.

Not a fan of the flip style keys though.
