While they may look cool, they are pretty annoying. When I had mine, the button kept getting pressed in my pocket.

Its def. not OEM or is it even a good aftermarket. Notice that the "e" in lexus is not pointed and the "e" is not connected to the "s" like in this picture . Also notice the L logo is incorrect since the "L" is not connected to the rest of the circle like it should be. Other than that I would love to see a good lexus switchblade key but not cheezy like that one.

Due to copyright infringement I believe you cannot exactly copy the company logo, or else risk getting sued.

I like the idea of the switchblade key, but the one in the auction is just not up to par for me. It looks cheaply made. It also costs $60 and has no more features than that of a valet key. There are no buttons on the remote that work other than the switchblade button. I never insert my key into the door to open my car anymore. I like the fact that I don't have to risk scratching up my paint by missing the keyhole.
