Default Car Keys..

The keyholder part of my only master key broke and I was wondering if I purchase one of those SC keys off ebay or a random internet store if i can get it cut for me?

My brother told me that these keys were lazer cut and that no one would be able to cut them for a cheap price.

edit:

Offtopic, but still wondering,

what do i need to buy if my antenna wont go up and down when the car turns on\off?
I can hear the motor of the antenna going, but the antenna doesnt move..

You should be able to get the key cut, but most lock smiths don't have the machine. When I ordered my replacement key case most of the shops around me told me to just go to the dealer. In the end I knew of 1 lock smith that could do it, and when I got around to driving there he only charged me 20 bucks.

Nope, the blade from my oem key snapped off, so I bought a blank case, swapped the door/trunk control box over, and had them cut the key.
