new key...flip style
Don't get me wrong, I think it's pretty sweet, too...but wouldn't an even larger key with a key you have to flip every time be annoying in, say, 6 months? I unno...
Now if you had pushbutton start as well, that would make sense!

I have a similar one for my IS.

I DO NOT recommend this kind. There is a spring that makes the key pop out and only 1 screw to hold the whole thing together. It causes a gap where the key flips out. It works, but just not perfect. ALSO, the transponder is too far away from the chip by the ignition so I have to collapse the key so the transponder is closer to the ignition for it to start.
Also it cost like 13 dollars at my local Lexus dealership to cut the key. Good luck.

damn it looks cool but i hate using it.
i drive cars a lot and i get pissed everytime i see this style of key. it makes holding it and putting it in the ignition so annoying.
