GT3 RS Pull Strap Key Chain
http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...1S_InteriorKEY
When I saw this in SM_ATLs mega thread, I had to have it. Well, I think I added it to the cart at Suncoast about a dozen times, but I just couldn't convince myself to pull the trigger on a $110 piece of nylon. So I decided I was going to make one. I ordered some black key rings and started searching eBay for some red and black nylon. I figured how hard can it be. While searching I stumbled up a pair of new OEM Porsche GT3 RS pull straps on eBay. The thread had Buy it Now or Make an offer, so I offered $100. They countered at $118, and I bought them. The good news is that I now have one for each key. I'll just chalk it up to the typical P-Car premium, but feel a little smarter getting two for the price of one.

I love this keychain, but I hate the pricetag...
I also thought that it could be made, but I'm no seamstress, so I outsourced.![Big Grin](https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I contacted someone on Etsy who makes bags and other stuff out of seatbelt nylon to see if they could replicate the keychain. He ended up making a prototype (!!!) within a day to show me. Pretty cool. The strap is 1.5" wide, so it's a bit wider than the official one, but I think it still looks pretty cool. He did say that it's rough since it's just a trial. He said he could make it any length, and that the black loop part could be shortened. Also, stitching is either black or gray.
Anyway, I wanted to see if there was any interest from others on here. I'm going to have one made regardless, but I figured there might be others who don't feel like dropping 100 bucks on a strip of material.

so there outrageously priced and low quality but cool?? are you using on the plastic dashboard ignition key or on the two keyless devices??
