Exclamation HELPPPP Key issue

I lost my keys to my 98 Trans am and have no spare and the car is locked. Please someone help...What would be my best and cheapest option to get another set with remote and key. How much am I looking at money wise?

Give the dealer the last 8 digits of your vin and they should be able to cut you a new key to work with your existing ignition lock. For the remote get one online from ebay or amazon. New remote will have to be programmed to work with your car. Locksmiths may be able to help with this cheaper than the dealer

in case your t-tops are not locked you can try slipping your hand to remove them and access your car.
