    Guys

    there used to be an ebay seller who had copy Enzo keys for 355's, 360's etc in reg, yellow, black etc.

    Now he/she seems to have vanished.

    Any ideas where I can get hold of one? (as the stock 355 key looks kak).

    Do you want a real Enzo key (i.e., OEM key blade, box, insert, holograph, etc)? I have an uncut one that I might sell for the right price. BTW, those knock-offs are complete junk.

    I'm happy with a knock-off. It just jangles around in my pocket with loose change and other keys anyway...

    Got ya. I remember seeing those sellers on eBay, but they must have exhausted their supply and/or Ferrari, Spa's legal department "found them". LOL Just be aware that many of the Enzo knock-offs use very cheap key blanks which can, and often do, snap off in the lock.

    Nice find. Does anyone have experience with a re-insert blade Enzo key? The seller clearly states that this key is a re-insert blade. The rumor I've read on the interwebs is that the a re-insert blade key can 'fail' even after only a few weeks of use. Bogus?

    Exactly what I was trying to say. These keys are NOT OEM Enzo keys. The OEM blade is far, far better quality than these replacements. Yes, the replacement blades have been known to frequently break-off in the locks. There was ONE individual on eBay selling OEM keys with the original blades, but he ran out a long time ago.

    As most of you know, you can no longer purchase Enzo keys through the dealers unless you have actual proof of ownership of an Enzo.

    No, but looks great in a bowl with all the other car keys at a party.

    Wonder if I'm a poseur too? I bought my Enzo key at the Ferrari Store in Rome a couple years ago and it still sits on my bookshelf, perfect original condition. Maybe I'll have it cut someday...unless someone offers me a bundle for it. :D

    I bought the same key that was pictured in this thread for 129.00 off eBay and he only had a few left... I took it to a locksmith in Greensboro and he cut it for $6 and it works great!
    I passed his information on to a client of mine who has a 360 coupe and he was able to get one also... I haven't been able to find him again and I just assume that Ferrari NA put a stop to it...

    +1! The whole reason why my Enzo remains uncut in it's box is because of the famous GothSpeed/Ricambi key. I like it much better than either the OEM F355 or the Enzo keys. Buy one, you won't be disappointed.
