Default Flip Keys?

Ok.. these might be crap but they look cool.. I had to replace my lexus key a while back (before I found clublexus) and it was 170 bucks.. anyone have one of these? It looks pretty easy to swap and you dont lose any of the remote functionality.

I bought one of these and they are cheap, not like the newer OEM ones.

And no, the L is not on the other side.

I don't think I'm going to use it. Maybe I will if my Lexus key ever breaks. I can sell you mine if you want it. LOL.

i got one of these and i use it all the time!

it does feel pretty cheap but hey it beats the key sticking at me in my pocket!

and when u stick it in the ignition u wont be able to use the "fastest" mode on the wipers UNLESS u have inserted the key in which the key will "switch" downwards so its not n the way...

yeh the "L" is just a sticker! lol

I received my Flip Key from Hong Kong... and man its crap :P I supose thats what I should have expected but oh well. My curiousity got the best of me.

The pics in the auction dont how truely cheap this thing is... not to mention the thing is huge - no where near the audi / vw style flip keys.

O well - anyone have a better flip key than these? I'm just glad I only paid $20 for it.. cant beleive they're trying to sell them for $40!
