Has anyone found a way to improve the looks of their hatchbacks key hole, or maybe the black plastic around it? Thinking about shaving it or painting the key hole to match the plastic, never go in my trunk so I won't worry about scratching the paint.

the whole thing or just the plastic piece? got a DIY or does it just pop off?
that is a good question. Man the keyhole is so dirty it is not even funny. I don't want to touch the thing, it attracts dirt like a super magnet. Makes me tempted to shave the whole thing off.

not mine, but I'm guessing it would look like this? It does look better.

I think it's a key that has been to college.
