Default Cheapest way to replace a key?

The front cover to my 03 GS 300 broke and I need to get a new one. I live in the San Gabriel Valley. Where or what website can I go to replace the key and who can duplicate it? Thank you

Order a shell off ebay and have a locksmith cut it for you. You should be able to find someone. I am a locksmith but i am in Arizona. Try to order a Denzo one. They seem to be a little better and it will have a Lexus logo on the back, some other brands dont.

Go to ebay and get just the cover. They have different colors on there as well.
