Default 07 RX350 muffler heat shield

I was driving down the PA turnpike and heard rear-end noise. I pulled over and this piece was hanging down on the right side in front of the rear tire and at the back edge of the rear door, right where the muffler is. I did a search and found this to be a common problem with the 330s but did not see anything on the 350s. I drove another 500 miles to the beach and then back home without any noticeable affects, but not that I looked underneath.

Has anyone replaced this on the 350s? What was the cost of the piece and is it easy to install without raising the vehicle as a DIY?

Any help is appreciated.

Oh, this! Scared the hell out of me when it happened! 2 am in the middle of Poconos and sounded like muffler dragging on the ground!

I didn't take it off though. Metal hanger (like those from dry cleaners) did the job for me. Never had a problem since.
