Cool F-Sport Key Case **Color Change**

So in our F-Sport upon purchase, we found the F-Sport Key Case, with the F Logo and the Blue stitching...

Since we have an Ultra White with the Rioja Red interior, the blue just doesn't match...

I know F-Sport is normally blue, but I also wanted to be unique... hence the following...

Pics to follow...

Cool

So here's what I did...

Color change the stitching...

Time consuming... took me 5-6 hours to remove blue stitching and to re stitch in red...

Hope y'all enjoy... Now we can at least tell who's keys are whose between me and my wife.

Total Cost was about $6.00...

Harsh reality is I am not a professional seamstress... so all I can say is I did my best and "I" love the results...

Ummm... Where did I get what from?

The Key cases came with the car.
The sewing supplies came from JOANN Fabric store.

The imagination came from the people at Disney... hahhahah no, just kidding...
I wanted to have something to match the red rioja interior...
I'll take pics later today to see how well I've matched...
The tassel was the only one I could find... but I'm sure I could find at other stores or if I looked harder... The decision to do this was spur of the moment...

I had to match the tassel, so that's why it may be redder than the interior...

Anyways... Hope y'all enjoy...

Here is mine, I decided to go to a Rubber silicone mod to protect the key fob from drops.

Time consuming... but may end up doing the wife's a darker red or even white as someone suggested to match the exterior...
