Default Lexus Key Switchblade

Hey, so i was wondering if anyone has bought the switch blade key from ebay and has got it to work. I ordered it and it looks nice and all but i need to get it cut and the only one that cuts the key is a dealership. $62.50 for a key cut pathetic. Anyways i wanted to know if it is worth getting the key cut or not.

I've heard mixed stories about those keys. The plastic isn't as strong as OEM so people I know bring it out when they want to show off. Whether or not it is the same case for you is unknown
