I don't know think that he is a TMS member, but I could be wrong.

The car would be, IMO, better off with out any of the vinyl. It had a paxton and actually sounded great.

How did you not gouge your eyes out after seeing that yellow one?The two trophies must have been from a NOPI event or a car show hosted for the blind.

That orange one while not my style is nicely done. If I remember correctly the orange one will be in the new Fast in the Furious homos movie.

Attn Fusion Key Owners !!!!!


Noticed that today mine felt a little funny. Looking at it at lunch today I could see that it would move up and down and felt like it wasn't securely in place.

gingerly I used the key to start the car, because I could see that it was not moving as much as the fob was while starting the car. The last thing I wanted was it breaking for any reason.

Here is the way it is now






Which sucks because I really liked it and it took less space carrying keys around. Not happy about pissing away 40 bucks either.

Was it to hard for Ford or its vendor to use a little more brass material on the fob side of the key to allow it to anchor better in the fob? Thats gotta be an *** chapper!

I used some 5 minute epoxy. It comes in two parts. You have to mix both on a piece of cardboard or something similar. Mix well and then apply. Let it sit for 5 minutes. It will be 100% strength in an hour. I bought mine from Napa (happen to have one two blocks away). It's pretty straight forward. You shouldn't have trouble with it.

edit: I hope that was helpful enough.
