So for a long time I've heard about this new key the 03s have. Supposedly it's "wave cut" and better looking, or something. I've searched high and low for a picture of it with no luck. Would some kind soul that has an 03 post a picture of it to satisfy my curiosity about the wonders of wave-cut technology?

Thanks.

Dag, that's pretty neat. Whether or not I have the wave cut or not, it doesn't matter. I like the black part of the key.

ahhh, the good old 03 key. Sometimes I just take it out of my pocket just to admire it :) Looks way better than my old Del Sol key.

it would be cool if you could get a tiny little red "H"emblem for the key!

Thanks, I was always wondering what "wave cut" means :). Now I understand why it's more difficult to pick. I like that it has an H that stands out. I wish I could make my H stand out. A little red H would not be half bad, even if it was a joke. :)

I actually like the shape of my 02 key better, more angular. But I did take some red model paint awhile back and fill in my H indent on my key, it looks pretty good.

I was actually thinking about doing something similar, but I wasn't sure that I could get it right, and I didn't want to screw up my key. I screwed up my cannon lens cap by trying to paint the raised letters white, but they ended up really sloppy-looking.

I still think my VW key was much "cooler". The switchblade gave me hours of flipping and amusement. And besides that, it was laser cut as well. But, its only a key.

VW and Audi keys look the best coz' of the switch blade design. Press a button and the kep flipped out.

Jaguar X-Type key is funky too. IIRC, it is a cylindrical shaped key.

Every car manuf. should make their keys like this. Integrate the key into the remote. One less thing dangling down on your thighs.

Only VW could think of a way to make a friggin' *KEY* that will eventually break, just like the rest of the car. [/flame]
