Do you mean a key fob cover? I'm confused, but that's normal.

Do you mean a piece of alum for the side of the steering wheel stem to protect the plastic?

Cool

I hope you want it for the look...If you really want to protect that part of the steering column from alot of key's banging againest it, then remove all those extra keys.... It is very tough on the ignition switch tumbler to have a "bunch" of keys hanging off your HHR key. I have seen over and over again failures in igition switches because people kept "all" their keys on one ring. That extra weight is too much for the cheap pot metal the ignition switch is made of....... This goe's for almost all vehicles.

I agree 100%
