No Keyhole Rear Emblem?

Does anyone make a rear emblem that is the same as the stock one, but without the keyhole? I think it would make the back of the car look much cleaner. And if the battery went dead in your remote you could just open the trunk by folding down the back seat and pulling the glow in the dark thing.

Thanks,
Tony

I can't fold my back seat down, can you Chuck?

Yes, SHR makes one like mentioned above (and it hinges up for easy access to the keyhole - so even convertible owners can buy one), but I don't like the look if you already have one of their fuel doors on the side of your car (it looks like you have 2 fuel doors).



SHR's quality is excellent though, and I'm sure these are no exception!

I am happy with the rear emblem the way it is..I don't see why people think it's so bad?? I also don't want to change every single thing on my car..I'm also not a huge fan of billet gas caps..to me it just looks out of place,but thats JMO. although if I were to buy one it would be from Siverhorse If I need to open trunk cuz my keys are locked in ,I call my wife and tell her to bring me my spare keys ASAP Or Rip out the back seats like the incredible hulk

I've got the same point of view... on the emblem that is, not about being the incredible hulk.

I like the look of the stock one, I just don't like the indentation for the keyhole. I think it would look a lot cleaner without that, but with keeping the rest the same.

I agree 100%

But for those that like them, SHR really does make quality stuff. Love my taillight panel!

Been there ... done that. Just so that you know ( in case you didn't ) If you remove the seats it is blank metal.... still cant get through or even reach through.

Left the fuel door stock. I hated seeing the key hole.
