Default question about a key

what's up fellas haven't posted here in awhile hope all is well with my Northeast people and everyone else. Anyway i leant my brother my car to go to a party and some dudes tried to jump him and take my whip. Anyway he held the dudes off and I still have my car and he's good as well minus a scratch or two. In the midst of the scuffle though, my key broke. I'm holding it together using tape right now and I have no spare key. Basically the metal key broke off from the alarm. I'm wondering where can i go and get the key copied? And roughly how much would something like this cost. Thanks in advance.

Isnt Franks Locksmiths a CL vendor for lexus keys?

They can sell you blanks, which are also available on ebay i believe.

and if i remember right, they cut new keys by looking up your VIN number.
