Man I didn't even think about checking Amazon for them... Would've saved $8!

Hey man I broke 3 keys over the last couple years and finally got fed up and bought an infinity key about 2 years ago. A bit expensive but I would totally do it again. I have no experience with the flip-key but I love the infinity key.

We ended up going with the flip style. If it ever breaks on us will definitely go with the Infinity now that I got some good feedback on it. I was really surprised nobody before you commented on it.

Thanks

I doubt I'll ever have to change them again, but its nice to have an easy install even easier in the fiture.

For those of you who have ordered the Strongarm parts, how long have they lasted you? Looking into these, but there was a review about them not lasting very long.

The strong arm are solid. You'll just have to install the mounting brackets that come with. I had them for 4 years up until I sold my car.

I need some hood dampers myself, come to think of it. Glad I found this thread.

As far as keys go though I plan on getting these in the near future.
