"coopmike" I understand what your saying, but everything I was telling you and everyone else was what the post office kept telling me! We made the mistake of sending the caps postoffice but we've been trying very hard to correct our mistake and we have! I just want everyone to be happy and with fed-ex shipping these thing now everyone will be happy!

S2k Dude sorry about the delay but your order was shipped and according to fed-ex you will have them friday! The tracking number has already been emailed to you.
I understand that there were issues with shipping but now that I've got them I have a few issues with the plugs:
1) Spa Yellow Pearl color match is poor, looks to me like the paint is so thin I can see the black plastic showing through the caps. If the plugs had a second coat of paint the color much would most likely be better.
2) There is a sink mark down the center of each cap. As a result of the shrink rate of the material there is sink down the center of the painted side of the plug. It's possible to correct sink by adjusting molding temperatures, pressures and cycle time. Possibly there is a lot of variation in the batch of raw parts.
3) One of the caps does not fit tightly into the keyhole and is kind of hanging out of the lock slightly. Meaning you can see a gap between the edge of the plug and the door handle.
As you can tell from my above issues I'm not happy with the set that I received, looking at other pictures that were posted I think I must have gotten a bad set. I think if the above issues were addresed and a new set sent out I'd be happy to recommend them to other S2000 owners but based on the set I've got I couldn't do so.
1fast99si, let me know how you'd like to handle this, I think there are two options. Either find a send that look as good as the ones other people have posted or send a refund. Thanks.

Thanks, I did finally receive them on Friday (31 days after my order was placed).

Of course I am joking, we are talking less than $7 / keyhole, shipped no less.
Okay, maybe they aren't "show quality" key hole plugs but jeezus, for $20 you're gonna' complain?
Is there room in your perfect world for me too?
