A seller by the name of MRK Group sells these snap on covers. I decided for $15, why not. I liked what I saw in the pic. It's not like one of those rubbery, matte painted slip ons. This one's got a nice, smooth shine to it. And it's thin, so it doesn't make your fob the least bit bulky. Here's a pic of it from the auction, below. I will post a pic of mine in a few after I finish eating. :P

FTL. I can disassemble my own fob, sand it, and paint, whatever color/texture I want, for about 5 bucks.

06GCoupin: That's cool and all, but some people enjoy a quick fix. Most people don't have sandpaper and spray paint handy, anyways.

I need to do something like this. I always get my Pathfinder and Z fobs mixed up. I have to flip them over to look at them to see which has more buttons. lol
PITA!

As you can see from the second pic, it barely makes a difference in the size of the keyfob - there are no protrusions. I'm happy with it, if this doesn't appeal to you, your browser is equipped with a back button. I'm simply sharing something that some may want.

I got that from the Nissan dealer. My friend works there. I believe it came out of the new altimas.

I remember when mums Magna one died we got an aftermarket one and had to program it, Mitsubishi said (and it worked) that you hold down the unlock button and start and switch of the car on and off three times (while you hold it at the ignition point)... or something along those absurd soundling lines... :S worked though..

I don't think SuperBlack350Z changed the actual key, just the remotes, right? If that's the case, then it should be a simple program on the remotes. How much does one of those new Altima remotes cost? How much does the dealer charge to program it?

yeah, it's just the remote. I still have the same key. I got the remote for free. I think they go for 160 for the remote with inside chips or just 50 for the casing.
