damn.... does your uncle's shop keep numbers of his customers? i hope so. This way you call them and ask about it. Im sure they'll help you out since you probably did an amazing job to their car..... Good luck

No spare?

not trying to turn you off, but i was reading somewhere that some of these keys are fake from china and they either melt of mess up when they cut the key.

Just saying, so if u see a 20 dollar key, it MIGHT not be legit..

I bought a replacement case/blade that was made in china and the guy cutting the key said it was too hard to cut. It took him a while, but the key works fine for me.

Take the title to any Lexus dealer and they will cut you a new master key. As long as you arent wanting a new remote entry or L emblem, it will cost you $25.
