Part # 82646-JL05A, $27.23 from my dealer

as it comes:
you have to remove the painted piece, i used a small flathead in the area circled in red


the two pieces seperated


used a microfiber to hold the handle open


same place as before, small flathead in the circled area to pry the painted piece off. once off the clip, it slides off to the right


removed. the new piece slides on the two tabs circled, then give a good push onto the car until it clicks


new piece on

 

Looks clean… Just did mine a couple weeks ago.

 

Looks good! I did mine last week, probably the only mod I'll do

 

Why we have to do this for? I'm a lady that why I asked.....:

 

Purely for looks. The keyhole is normally not even used since we use an intelligent key. The keys stay in your purse and you have to put your hand on the handle to open it anyways, so you may as well push the button.

 

^^ your car looks beautiful... almost makes me want a sedan..... hmmmmmmm

 

Thank You for the excellent DIY.

 

very nice diy!

can we buy that part at any infiniti dealers?

 

yup. part number will vary slightly for different colors

 

so much cleaner! best mod ever for under $30 bucks

 

Did mine and bought a second one for the G35 Sedan for my friend to install I liked it so much!

 

G37's come with key holes?? im confused.

mine just6 has the rubber tap

no seriously tho' -they come with key holes?

 

I did this too, and it looks great on my PG. Must be a chick thing because my wife was like WTF too.

 

yes, on the driver's side.

pretty much the only thing i would find it useful for is a quick way to roll your windows up (stick the key in and hold it in the lock position a few seconds.. windows go up)

but, i doubt i'd ever use that feature. so goodbye keyhole

 

And I thought I had too much time on my hands. I'm with the chicks on this one.
