Default New $28.00 mod

Just bought this cover to go over the drivers door key hole.

Cheap mod to smooth things out.

Looks good. Where did you get it? Do they have it is various colors? Can it easily be removed? How about a closeup photo.

Bought it from Sewell Parts online.

My photo above is Photoshopped.

I'll take a pic when I get the actual part.

I did this on my Infiniti and the part just snapped in place.

I cannot seen to find it on their web site, do you have the actual part number and their description? I have tried several searches and did not get the desired result.

Did you try swapping your rear with your front to see if this is even feasible?

Fantastic! I never thought of that

And it's a genuine part!

Was it easy to remove?

It's not a flat discount across the board. Just create a new account and check around. Looks like you would have saved $10 on the cover.

I'll post a pic tomorrow when the FedEx guy drops it off.

Funny, didn't realize it actually comes from the Sewell dealer here in Dallas.

That's about 10 miles from my house. Now it goes to Memphis before it gets here.

Thumbs down The worst service from Sewell Lexus parts

I placed my order on 4/23/13 and and had to call them on 4/25/13 to found out the status of my order. I was told the item was out of stock but would be sent out on 4/25/13. Well the item was shipped on 5/1/13. Not only did they sent the wrong color but the wrong item as well. The only good part is that they seem okay when I requested a refund and a return authorization. I will hold judgement until I receive my money back. The other problem was the fact they acted like the part was in stock instead of a backordered or out of stock listing in their catalog.
