Still 500 is a lot regardless of what is on them. I'm thinking a vendor will need to do this for us.

true true. The ClubLexus logo is a good idea. The keys for the GS and ES are essentially the same and would fit, right? If clublexus doesn't do it, I own lexowners.com and would consider doing it.

Remember to show them the photo so that they know which one you're asking for.

so tell me again, how did your friend get one of these from the company?

I had a 250 then I traded it in on the 350 ML/Nav/Lux in Regina, I drove to Calgary to pick it up so I didn't have a salesman there. I was mistaken though it was Lexus in Regina that gave me the key holders ,and I just phoned and the manager said they were given to him by a vendor trying to pursuade them to order a whole bunch at a time. I asked if he had anymore but he said he only got 6 and they are already given out to preferred customers,I just happened to be lucky, sorry about getting your hopes up guys/gals.

i wouldn't pay $20 for them but I would probably pay $10. You wouldn't get sued, you'd probably get a cease and desist.

You are SO correct in your thinking. I owned a company for years that imported products. If you don't have the "rights" to the logo sooner or later it becomes nothing but grief. This product could definitey be done but it must be done with all the "t's" crossed and the "i's" dotted.

And the bit in the company's e-mail about packing them with the logo face down is a dead giveaway (if it were even necessary) that they do not exactly have "rights" to use the Lexus logo. I want one of these cool looking gloves bad--preferably with the Lexus logo--but it's not worth anyone getting into trouble over.

Cool

Personally I don't see the attraction of that case. Yes it looks nice but the fob is completely encased in it and you have to unsnap it and move out the fob every time you use it. I use the fob every day to open my trunk and don't want to unsnap that thing and move the fob out every time.

I almost never use my fob. (Wow, that sounds both dirty and sad! ) I open my trunk just by using the button on the trunk lid--it's no more trouble than fishing in my pocket to press the trunk button on the fob and then still lift the trunk by hand anyway.

However, as the Texas summer approaches, I can see myself using my fob more often to activate the "all windows down" feature when unlocking the car after it has been sitting in the heat. Still, I would like the case.

As opposed to most of the rest of us who almost never use the fob to open the trunk. To open, touch the button underneath the trunk lid first, use the trunk release inside the car second, the fob is third...for me. Who opens their trunk everyday anyway? LOL

Yes, still I would like the case also. Would be perfect for the second remote if you don't want to use if for primary.
