Tell me more about this smart card key? How does this work, just like the smart key? Where available? Will it fit in a wallet? How thick is it?

Nice. Can you provide more shots of the rear spoiler? I was thinking of adding one myself. Did you go to the dealer for the spoiler or is it an aftermarket product?

The smart card makes it so much more convenient than the stock fob.It works just like the stock fob, albeit minus the buttons to unlock your doors and open your trunk. Yes, it fits in your wallet, and that's where I keep it. I got mine from Sewell when they had that discount on smart cards, not sure if they still have the discount. Its a little bit thicker than a credit card.

Sure! I'll take more pics today. I got the spoiler from Sewell with their CL discount, it came out to 190 bucks---its OEM, not aftermarket.

very tasteful and useful mod(s), that smart key looks very convenient. Spoiler I wanted to get, but didn't want to pay the $260 they want at my dealer, but I'm in Canada (+13% tax ontop). black pearl emblems, if i didn't wanna keep it debadged I would definitely consider those, they match my rims

I had the dealer install it---I know someone at the dealer so I got a great price for the install and programming of my key. Get your spoiler installed! Makes it look soooo much better! And not many ES's on the road have spoilers!

What does the smart card do that the regular key fob doesn't do? What are it's advantages.

Thanks

i believe you can keep it in your wallet and not in your pocket.. that is the advantage. the disadvantage would be that you would have to have a separate key ring for house/work and other keys that would have on your regular key fob

Where'd you get the black pearl emblems and how much were they? I looked before and couldn't find them.

Pay attention to the Vendors forum, mods for the ES have been popping up! Sewell had a one day sale for the BP emblems for 2 hundy and then get $50 when you return your old ones.

I can't wait to get my turn signal mirrors on my car! Anyone else order a set?
