I bought this thinking I would save some money because Lexus wants around $70 for this key. The key only cost me about $7 and Lexus charged me $25 to cut the key to fit my ignition. The problem is after about a week I took the key out of my pocket and there was a chip of plastic broken off from around the screw. The key hasn't completely broken away from the plastic but with this compromised structural integrity, it's probably just a matter of time. Even if they refund the money or give me a replacement, I will still have to pay Lexus to cut the key again. If I had it to do again, I would just give Lexus the 68 bucks or so because then I would be able to complain to them and probably they would replace it free of charge.The standard Lexus keybody is weak and eventually breaks. A dealer replacement is over $100.00 (key + cutting). Save yourself time and money. Buy 2 bodies, get them cut by your local locksmith or at the dealer and gain the piece of mind knowing you're covered when the inevitable break happens.Got here quickly!Worked just like I thought that it would. My wife is happy again. It will be a Merry Chrstmas!
