Default Lost a set of keys and now looking to replace them

Long story short was out with a friend, had keys in my coat all day, next day went to coat to pull out keys and GONE

I lost 1 Black Key, 1 Key FOB, and 1 Grey "Valet" Key

I have been doing some searching and can't seem to figure out what my best option is as from most of the search results I have read most people lost all their keys and had to deal with the dealer or a dealer lost their keys and everything was taken care of in house.

I still have 1 Black Key and 1 Key FOB in my posession and would like to replace the others as I would really like to keep a spare at home for emergencies. So my question is am I better off just walking into the dealer and just stating that I need another key made and a FOB or can I somehow get this done cheaper as from what I gather it could cost me a few hundred dealing with my local dealer. I have seen you can buy keys and FOBs on ebay and places like that but have no idea what I would do about programming and cutting. Can this all be done somewhere else for less than what the dealer would charge?

I need a new key too. I only have 1 Fob and 1 key. If I lose them, I am screwed.

My local wal-mart said they can cut and match the RFID of an existing AP2 key for $25 total...I haven't actually tried yet, however...I will be trying at some point though.

Well once I find a solution to the problem I will be sure to post up my results. I guess I have to make some phone calls about cutting and programming the keys.

Seriously, guys...it's a simple RFID. Walmart told me that they can match a new key to my existing. You really need me to be the first to try?

zippy, you sure? They were very confident that they had done it before...some new machine they got a few months before I had my tires mounted. I'll go try in the next week or two if nobody else does! The hard part comes in if you don't have an existing key....they said they NEED a working one.
