USDM Accord Key Mod - FLBusa

USDM Accord Key Mod - FLBusa (PICS INSIDE)
Okay, as all of you know, I was at one time helping do the USDM Accord Key mod for folks around here. Well, in a few short days, I'll be getting a milled USDM Accord key from FLBusa. Just like he is doing for the switchblade TL key for us, he has now created a milling program for the USDM Accord key.
What does this mean? Well, instead of having to rely on the epoxy bond between the "donor key" and the USDM Accord key's key bed, FLBusa is now milling the blank on the Accord key to match that of our stock keys. This is by far going to be the strongest, most reliable mod to have.
I'll see if I can get some pricing from him and if there is enough interest, then Pete may start doing this mod in addition to the TL switchblade.
The benefits I see in having this mod over the TL switchblade, the USDM Accord key is a little more compact that the TL switchblade.
FYI, I'm getting a TL key done along with my USDM Accord key, so I'll have both. I'm absolutely THRILLED with this. Can't wait to get the new keys cut

this thread seems like its going to be taken over with the switch key mod. Im already getting the switchblade one but im thinking about getting my brother the accord one because he said he didn't like the switchblade. (ye i know hes crazy)

I'd like to keep this open only for the USDM Accord key mod since FLBusa's method is worthy of a new thread.

Having had both, side-by-side, I still like the Accord key better. Functionally, it is smaller and more practical.

well he has a cnc machine milling it is my guess and that the shop is gonna charge you an arm and a leg to write the program to mill it not talking about the time it takes to mill the key too. my best bet is to go with fblusa becuase he is doing this in huge orders soo savings for you.

I did see the black market section for the TL switchblade key but there were a million people getting it done and i figured i'd wait til the line got smaller but this will work just as well!

I really liked that but didn't feel like spending the time on it at all. All we would have to do is maybe to the DIY you wrote on how to put the Acura "A" logo on the key after taking off the Honda "H" logo correct?

So if I wanted this key, i'd have to fix the honda symbol to an acura one on the other side.....is there someone that would do this for me AND mill it or is there instructions on how to do it yourself?
After it's milled, why would your acura dealer or a locksmith be able to program a honda chip and you would not be able to?

To get the symbols out, I used to use a sharp razor blade to pry them up. They are just held on with a very sticky double sided tape (very thin).

We should start a list of who's gotten it done. I'm just curious to see cost wise anyway...

you can't PM until you get over 10 posts I think. At any rate, the info you are looking for can be found here.
