Key Head/Fob Replacement

Hey guys

My key buttons have worn and become pretty squishy, so it's been really hard to unlock/lock the car with one simple push. I was looking at the replacement head (upper half only) from Suncoast Parts for $35 and some on Ebay (whole head and blank) for $25.

The question is, does anyone know if the one from Suncoast is OEM or good quality (because it doesn't say anything about that on the website)? If both are aftermarket, I might go with the one from Ebay.

Thanks

Don't know about the one from Suncoast, the one from eBay is what I got. It fits petfectly and there's no trouble installing it (except for keeping track of the tiny springs), but I have to say that the plastic is so stiff that getting the trunks open is basically impossible with the fob. I'd like to know if the one from Suncoast is any more flexible.

I recently got the one from Suncoast. Fits and works. At $35 for some plastic and rubber it should.
