i only have a crappy metal one for my new pearlie but would like to get an oem or "subaru key" i looked on ebay and there are a few different style ones , but will they all be able to be cut down to use or are some of them a different key design (groove lines in them )?

There are at least two key types, which are close, but not quite the same. You can use the 90's style ones, but not the 2000s style ones, basically. There's not a great selection... May I recommend this? I have one and I like it a lot.

The 2000s style keys actually CAN be used with an SVX, they just need to be "shaved" down a bit.

You mean shortened or made flatter?

You need to make it flatter. They are longer, but it doesnt matter. The key just sticks out of the ignition lock a little bit more.
