It's also in the article (http://www.xoutpost.com/showarticle-198.html), but here's a direct link to a current auction - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...22066693QQrdZ1

It says the seller is in Taiwan, but when I ordered mine on a Saturday I had them on Monday or Tuesday. So they have to be shipped from the states.

Juan,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...22066693QQrdZ1



These are the guys I ordered from...Excellent fit, and you can manipulate them to squeeze right in..>I didnt even realize they had that nice "snap" fit to boot! And just make sure you do the middle "X" screw first, and the others will come out much easier...A flathead, and small pliers and youll be good to go!



And thanks guys for the "pat on the back"..It DOES really feel good to try to do something for myself, and actually have it work for once...And YES, the mod bug HAS just begun...

If there are mistakes or strange characters in my post, please forgive...Its taken me like an hour just to figure out where the keys are on this thing!...

ö, ä, å, and € are all standard keys on this keyboard and I keep pressing them by accident!!

I have been hesitant on this as well because I had this done in my New Beetle and there was a few dust particles that got in there and I had to remove it and get the dust off a few times to get it perfect. Has anyone had any trouble with dust? I'm real anal about that kind of stuff..

YES. That was a pain...I used an ostrich hair duster, and it worked great...Unfortunately, you have to find one (or something) small enough to reach the nooks and crannies...

Thanks again guys!
