Problem is it wont be OEM quality. Best bet is to get an uncut rx300 key and get it cut and programed.

The link above from ebay, the key will not fit (the pre-cut part will not work with Lexus key blades. You'll need to buy a separate key blade and fit it on.

You also will not have remote door lock/unlock.
