Depends on which keyless remote you have. The dealer has some of the shells for the optional remotes.
The shell on my Tundra remote cracked and the dealer had them for under $10.00.

Ditto on that, but use your key code if you got it. They will cut a key using photo but I didn't want to take a chance of a miscut. The place I used was fast but w/o the Lexus logo on the shell. Ordered a blue one because I got too many Lexus/Toyota black keys that look alike. Saved me a bunch of money.

Please use the search option as this has been discussed before.
If it is a the half shell that does not have the Key blade, your Lexus dealer may have spare (cannibalized from other keys). I have seen the parts dept change the half shells out for free.

I just went throught this whole ordeal twice in three months..... I got the key when i bought the car all taped up.. ordered denso replacement shell with blank key... was told it was hundreds to get it cut at dealer... it cost $20 at a very skilled locksmith... they can copy the high security keys... then three months later that same denso shell broke in the same manner my original was broken.... i went on ebay and bought a switchblade style cut from asia.... had the same guy cut it for $20.... total cost was $35 canadian for everything... and i will say the switchblade style i got.. its much better constructed then the denso.... where all the weight is placed on the denso is a very very small section of metal to plastic.. on the switchblade the key is to attached to metal at that point... it also came with a lexus logo althought i imagine it wasnt OEM...
Id highly recommend the switchblade from someone who already went thru the denso replacement...

I love bringing it into the shop when there are new service advisors... they think the key is cool...
