1996 Acura NSX Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Out in Fanita Ranch, a guy had just picked up a 1996 NSX from a private seller in Santee. One key. The seller swore a spare would be easy to get.

He called the Acura dealer first. They told him to bring the car in, verify ownership at the parts counter, and wait for them to order the blank. He asked how long. A few days, maybe a week. He had one key, a car he'd been dreaming about for years, and zero interest in driving his only key to a dealership and handing it over.

He found me online and asked if I could do it without him going anywhere.

I met him in his driveway. The NSX uses a mechanical key, so the job was about the cut, not electronics. I decoded the lock cylinder directly, confirmed the cut, and matched it to a blank I had sourced for these. One key became two, right there next to the car, while he stood there watching and asking questions about the car's lock history. Good questions, actually. He knew what he had.

No tow truck. No waiting on a parts order. No sitting in a dealer waiting room for a car that deserved better than that.
