GX470 Cabin Intake and Burp Ports
Can anyone who has the following photos please post them here? I would really, really appreciate it!
I have searched and searched and could not find any, maybe my search-fu is weak.
I'm looking for the left hand side (facing the front of the vehicle) of the exposed area under the cowl where the cabin air intake is/should be.
Also, the rear burp ports and how to access/remove them if you have it.

The burp ports? You mean the cabin air exit flaps? They're behind the rear bumper cover.

Not sure where the intake is - I guess it would be high on the firewall on the passenger side or maybe under the cowl.

Thank you, I truly do appreciate it!
I'm still seeking additional imagery of both and instructions on accessing the air exit flaps. Actual photos. This is somewhat helpful, but I need to see how they affix/operate and where the air intakes in as much detail as I can before I undertake accessing them.

They're a plastic frame that clips into the sheet metal, and has several flaps to prevent air from entering - only exiting.
The weight of the flaps, their size, the number, etc. are carefully selected by Toyota/Lexus as they're responsible for a lot of the "solid door close" sound when you close a door (the air resistance is what does it).

Indeed, I am aware... maybe I should explain.
I have always owned Toyotas. One of their only major flaws is they dont put on any kind of screening on thier air intake and exit ports. I live in a rural and very alpine area. Once that cold sets in, the mice will look for anywhere warm, like Yotas and Lexus's still warm from a commute. So, on nearly every Toyota I've owned, I've had to put hardware cloth over those ports and the intake. TO facilitate this its easier if I know what I'm going to encounter to install that screening. i.e. on my FJ, there was a thread on the FJ forums showing the ports, and one individual had even detailed how they installed the grid without interrupting the port function. i can do that myself, but I would like to see access and the area if I can. So if someone has pictures of the bumper removed, bumper or panel removal, and under the cowl (i already know how to get it off) that would help immeasurably.
