Default 350 Z Key

If theres one thing I hate about my new Z its the chincy A$$ key that Nissan gave me when I picked up my Track model. I was like; "No I bought the Z not the Sentra". One word, Pathetic!

Anybody know a nice aftermarket key I could buy?? This would also be a nice thing to get a group buy on if anyone knows of any.

FYI - You do have a special key! Without the key they gave you - your car wont start! I has a special chip in it --

My Infiniti key is OK. But the key fob is hideous. It's the same as the 350Z.. that's fine .. But it's also the same as every other cheap Nissan. What the hell huh? My friend's RSX has a nicer key fob, it has the Acura sign on the back and all. Cheap Nissan.

The key for my 90 300zx was a piece of art...I believe it was made out of one of those fancy metals, titanium maybe. Nissan should of done the same with the 350's key...

yup, i agree with everyone that our key and remote looks like kaka.

i mean nissan stuck a z all over our cars and inside our cars..... what is it 11 on the coupe and roadster? how hard would it have been to stick a z on the remote and key too?

i was trying to figure out a way to modify the remote, but i gave up on it.

Maybe just paint the remote to your Z color with touch up paint......

Is it possible to shave off the nissan logo on the key and replace with the Z logo?

Wow I never knew the keys were such a big deal. A key is a key and all it does is start the car.

The Crossfire has one of those Mercedes type flob key but isn't as nice of a car as the 350Z.

I hate my car because the key is just too plain. People ask me what kind of car I have, and when I said "I have a 350Z", the first thing they say is "Really? Wow, can I see your key?" It's so embarassing to have to show them my plastic key and plain key-fob. The resulting inferiority complex has resulted in my spending thousands of dollars in mods on my car trying to overcome this plain, boring key.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

It seems the only real choice is - a NICE KEY or a NICE AUTO !! Guess I've made my choice already - yes , I had the 300zx also - was a nice key - but dont recall it said "300ZX" on it.

something like the vw/audi/Rolls/Bently/Lambos would be nice...

come to think of it, dont the lambo owners feel MORE crappy that their keys look the same as a VW Golf?

I've never had anyone say to me nice car let me see the keys for it or even care what the key looks like. As long as the car starts it is good enough for me. And the 350Z is still a Nissan just like all others Nissan. Would it have been nice to have a better keys or flob with the 350Z of course.

When I had my Corvette keys they looked the same as a Cavalier except with the chip in it.

Uh, I was being sarcastic. Who really gives a flying hoot what the key looks like, right? It's just a key. Besides, all keys get scratched up over time. A 'nice looking' key that's all trashed is no better than an average looking key that's all trashed.

Lol. A key is a key.

I've never had a girl walk up to me and say "Nice car! I'll bet your keys are nice, too!"
