    I happen to have an uncut Enzo key blank that's been displayed on a shelf in my office for a long time. It just occurred to me it would be a seriously nice key for my 308. I'll take a closer look at them tonight, but has anyone done this? With the size and shape of the Enzo key, does it take a special machine to hold it during cutting? It's not something I want to take down to Home Depot and cut.

    I'd use a key shop, I think it is the same shank profile.....

    If it is symetrical, meaning cuts on both sides of the blades, and you can insert the key either way, then no. The 308/328 key has cuts on one side only, Only fits one way.

    There is a very long thread or two here about the conversion. The blades are NOT necessarily the same but can be swapped.

    READ THOSE threads FIRST. Then you will be fine.

    Well I just discovered mine is a two-sided blank so I'd have to swap the head onto the proper blank. Definitely a little project I'll have to address at some point. Thanks for the info.

    Cool! I've got the same keychain...in fact I have two of them for each set of keys. Can someone point me to the thread detailing how to swap the blanks in the Enzo key? I've searched but apparently I'm search-impaired.

    You can still buy cut Enzo key from Ferrari gift store, they don't sell the uncut version anymore but don't care about that because you would swap in the blade from a 3x8. Be careful of buying "Enzo" key from Ebay, some of them are fakes but yet sold for more than a real one from Ferrari store.

    The next time I drop by San Francisco Ferrari gift store, I'll buy one.
