DIY: 360 Aftermarket Key

Here you go for sharing.

360 stock key is color boring gray. Mine is all scratched up...
Enzo key looks awesome but at $2,400.00 each, I dont think so......

Other options:

Two sellers in eBay.
One from UK, one from Japan.

I bought the one from UK. Quality is good but not the best.
The Ferrari Logo sits on top of the key.

The seller from Japan seems to be better made.
Ferrari logo is recessed to the key.

I paid $130.00 for mine seller is from UK.
I asked the seller to ship it via AirMail so I got it in 4 business days.

Cost to cut the key: Cheap! $4.00. Looks great. Photos below.

Looks like I cant upload photos anymore as I've reached my limit.
I recommend they increase the maximum file limit so members can continue to upload photos and continue to generate interest.

I feel lucky that I grabbed one of those Original Enzo souvenir keys when I did. I think I paid ~250 for it about a year ago. I need to get around to making my key.

 

Hi Kevin,

Yes, you are very lucky as some people in eBay are asking outrageous amount of money for them.

I will be in Italy next week and I'll see if I can find an original Enzo key for sale while I'm there.

Dan look for the souvenir version. It is the same as the enzo key but it is cut and no electronics inside and the nice metal shield that is recessed does not depress like the real key. Other than that it is the same, same box same material, etc. Very nice and easy to mod to add your key.

 

Excellent info!

I will be visiting the Ferrari Museum and gift store and will search for the Enzo Key Souvenir version. Thanks Kevin!

I asked my Ferrari dealer last week for a Factory Tour and they said no problem but they needed two months in advance notification so they can contact the Ferrari Factory rep.

Oh well, next time.

Thanks again Kevin!

Search here for Carbon Fiber Key, i love mine. Very solid and looks great.

 

Thanks for the suggestion Andy.

 

How durable is the UK key ? Does it scratch or chip easily ?

 

How did you cut the key? Did you have to disassemble?

I have heard that many cutting machines either damage it or simply can't hold it in order to get it cut..

 

Too early to tell.....

Will post an update after a couple of months.

So far so good.

Dan

 

No need to disassemble. Cut as is.

As suggested here - take your after market or Enzo key to a professional locksmith and pay $5.00 and they will do a great job as it is their profession.

You can take it your new key to Lowes or ACE hardware store and pay .99 cents but the risk of possible damage is fairly high as some of those folks are not locksmiths nor familiar wit expensive high end keys.

I took mine to a local locksmith and paid 5 bucks and they did an awesome job. No scratch no damage, worked great first time I used the newly cut key.

I did tell them though to kindly be careful as that is a $250 car key. The gal that cut my key was extremely grateful as she said its her first time to see and sit in a Ferrari.

I need to contact the moderators to increase my upload file size limit so I can post more photos.

No, you need to become a subscribed member if you want to upload more photos.

 

I got this key with my 360, along with two regular silver keys. You mean to tell me this could be a 2400 dollar OEM enzo key? Geez....

Not quite an Enzo key, but this was my standard key after I gave it a quick machine polish. Quite pleased with the results.

Beautiful! I guess it's not possible to get the same result polishing it by hand?

 

Some guy is selling an uncut Enzo key in eBay for $2499.00!

Crazy!

Dan

 

Very nice.

Great job!

Dan

 

Very nice.

Great job!

Tim, I don't claim to be an Enzo key expert, but because I've been looking I have examined many. It does look like yours is the real deal. I have seen knock offs and the big difference ( without side by side comparison) is there is a silver border around the shield, horse, and S F, and between the R/W/G. I believe yours is real. Becoming more rare. Can range from 700 up to 2k+ for full package uncut.

If you are doing it I removed the Cavallino Rampante before polishing, it just prised off using a small screwdriver, I didn’t want to take the chance of it coming off during polishing and getting lost, think I used super glue for reattaching it.

Here's a picture of the Key before polishing.

For those that don’t have a machine polisher I would think you would get the same results using a Dremel, they usually come with a polishing attachments etc.

Did you clear coat it to stop oxidization? I painted mine red but it's starting to chip. I guess the clear coat will too. I think the only way is to powder coat it.

No I just left it bare and It's been fine, I just make sure when it's in my pocket I dont have anything else in with it, this helps to stop it from getting marked.

 

Spot on!
