Carver, thanks for the pic
So I see this someway will work
when you flip over is there suppose to be another emblem in there and the whole for putting a key ring in is kind of big, can I switch the the blank key with a precut key from a factory key ?

The size of the thing is the main reason it has been occupying a drawer the last few months, its enormous. There is a stick on logo that covers a screw hole, I don't foresee it lasting more than a few weeks. The build quality isn't bad but enough negatives to keep it in the drawer for a while.
The blade is built in and can't be exchanged for an OEM one.

i just got the set form 1010 keys on ebay. they cut it before sending it out
transfer was a snap.
yes they are bulkier than just a key but i don't mind it ( it actually feels good when handling it ) it was a cheap and good solution to my problem of a cracked key case that was held together by tape form the previous owner and it was definitely cheaper than going to the Lexus dealer to get a replacement

that's a good point.. ddint check the glove box or doors will do tonight.
i gave them the Key number and they cut it with that number. if you dont have that number you can go to the stealership and they can look it up based on the vin.

The one I got from Ebay none pre-cut is in some box in the shed. Worthless.
