I've been working with Kevin at NIA Auto Design to create door handle keyhole covers. The purpose of these would be to give a better flow of the exterior...I absolutely hate the look of the keyholes and, worse, don't even use them as I'm sure the majority of you don't either. Kevin has come up with a design to cover the entire keyhole surround for a subtle and OEM look rather than simply using a circular "plug"...quite genius if you ask me. Here's an example of the section it would cover:

Prototype:
Finished Product:
We want to get an idea of how many owners might be interested and, as a result, create a limited group buy if these go into production. These will be color matched to your Tib and ready to install in seconds. Price isn't available as of yet, although, it is expected to be very reasonable.
***Update*** 2/8/12
Official Pricing is now posted!!!
Primer Only - $35
OEM Color Match - $59
Shipping - $6
We'll start off with a deposit of $20. If we get 10 deposits within 30 days, NIA Auto Design will start producing the keyhole covers. By the rare chance we don't receive the minimal deposits then everyone's funds will be refunded. Because we are pretty certain that things will go according to plan, NIA has already began purchasing OEM door handles for R & D.
Deposit should be sent to the following Paypal: kevin@NIAautoDesign.com
Please copy and paste the following information into your paypal message and fill in the blanks accordingly:
