So, when I bought my car 4 years ago, the keyless entry remote was slightly damaged. I didn't think twice of it and it worked fine for me since then. Recently however daily wear and tear has made it impossible to use without it completely falling apart, which brings me to the current project...
The insides of the remote still work fine electronically, so I've removed them from the old plastic thing and now need to create a new housing. Any cool ideas? I'm either going to fabricate something cool looking myself, or use some kind of part from a car, but am currently at a loss for what would fit the bill. Any and all ideas are welcome! -Joe |

Hands down, if it was me? I'd take a hotwheels Pike's Peak Celica and make that into my key fob
 Or, if you're a smoker - how about a Zippo or a Bic lighter? --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM)  Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

I think the Zippo idea is brilliant! Heavy... but brilliant. I love you, Death.

You two make me sick...
 But the ZIPPO idea does rock. I can't even lie. Or; it'd be cool to slip it into something that makes no sense whatsoever. Like a Highlighter or a big Sharpe.  Whip out a Sharpe and open your car maybe even a full sized remote control or a calculator or something What'd be REALLY cool is is you had it in a Blue-Tooth head-set.  Nerdy, i know. But freak'n Awesome!

Yeah but a Highlighter or a Sharpie would look kinda ghey as a key chain, don't you think? People would always think you were really happy to see them.

yeah, but you wouldn't have to keep it as a key chain, just don't let someone in the office borrow it.

See and I thought the Hotwheels idea was the best one: You could use the windshield as the lock button and the hatch glass as the unlock. It even has the economy sized gillette wing D-Man likes so much - I'm sure you could find a use for that too
