Thanks again for the great comments guys! The holes for the buttons are aren't hard to cut. You just need to cut an "X" shape or something like that after you've place the wrap on top. After that, just wrap it around the edges. The hardest part would be the Lexus logo. You can't take the logo off (at least I couldn't) and just stick it back on after wrapping. I traced out the shape on trace paper and then lay it on top of the film and cut it. There is also another way to do the logo, which is to heat the film up while it's on top of the key fob and then press the shape out onto the film. After that, take off the film and SLOWLY and CAREFULLY cut the shape out (if only i had a pencil tip sized cutter!!). I messed up a few times and mine isn't totally perfect around the logo as well lol. But nonetheless, it's a simple 'mod'!

LOL rob are you serious? if i ever have problems with my key fob, im taking the wrap off hahaha

oh yes, all my pics are in the bathroom cuz that's where i wrap my stuff LOL. the lights at my place are all dim except for my bathroom hahaa

go nuts on wrapping guys LOL

oh i bought the aerotect 48 x 24 bulk film for $50 not including shipping.

Is that the toilet that washes/dries you automatically?
