Lock Covers
I was told there was a mod to make door lock covers (can't find any commercially made ones), but I can't find the mod in the FAQ pages or elsewhere. Told the mod weas in FAQ. Do the post drop off after a while. Maybe it was an old post and it's now gone? Anyone know where I cna find door lock covers?

OLD THREAD ^^^^
But a lot of these guys are still around, but this should start you off in the right direction. There was a webpage that showed step by step instructions for what the above quote is talking about but I lost the bookmark. Maybe one of these guys will know.
And next time try posting in S2000 Talk, it would get more hits, and this sections if for website issues
I hope this makes sense and there aren't too many spelling errors. Im too tired and lazy to check.
For all those interested, these can be made for no more than $10. In fact, I've made a set for my own car (Berlina Black) for the cost of $2.38.
These "plugs" are available at your local Lowe's. They are in the auto carpet tack section (next to the bolts, nuts, and screws).
Color match paint is available from Dupli-color in spray cans. I happened to already have a spray can available so that didn't go into my price factor. I think a can costs about $2.50 - $6.00 depending on the size of can you buy.
I took mine one step further and sanded down the "texture" on top of the tab. It took about 5 minutes with a dremel. I also "notched" the keyhole plug after thinning it down a few mm's. The 'notch' creates a lock once the tab is inserted. Only way to get the keyhole plug out is by forcing it to one side and then having to stick a long needle into the keyhole to compress the notch.
Works great, many of the Chicago locals have seen it.
