Default Key duplicates

I'm a new Lexus owner of an '03 300 GS. It's my very first one and it's a dream to drive.

My question is, what manufacturers do you recommend that are superb to get the key and remote copies made? I looked into KeylessRide and they seem fairly reputable and reasonable in cost. Has anyone ever used them or anyone else you would recommend?

Cheapest way I recommend is buying uncut key and used transmitter off ebay and take the key to the dealer and have them cut it. Cost about $10-$15 to cut them and you can reprogram the key with instructions somewhere on here. Everything should cost around $50. Make sure to buy the correct model #s for your car.

^^ what this guy said....the ebay keys work fine....most locksmiths will cut and program for less than the dealer. I think I paid about $40 or $50 total for a new key cut and programmed.
