I hate modding. My old s-10 and my motorcycle now are like that. I keep just wanting to do things to it. I'm going to have to stop haha

Key shipped today! expecting it is 7-10 days, I'm hoping 4-5. The only thing I am worried about is trying to get someone to cut it for me and not mess it up. Gonna have them cut one before to see if it will fit in and turn the ignition.

btw, you can get these keys for $18 and change shipped to ya! well worth just tryin!

yea, the keyless entry came out easily, but the transponder you need to heat the key with a hairdryer or heatgun (I used a lighter) and pull it out using a paperclip or screwdriver or something.

I got it cut today and it works like a charm! if anyone wants to do this and gets the key, hit me up and I'll give you some pointers on putting everything in there because it does have a few tricks to it.
