Default Wheel well liner -- exposed wires?

I've bought a car and the passenger wheel well liner (?) appears to be missing. This is what it looks like inside the wheel well:

I'm concerned that when I drive when it's raining that water could get on these wires and short something out.

I am not quite sure what to look for on parts sites or what to ask for in a WTB thread or the like. Can someone help point me in the right direction?

For now I would tape them up very thoroughly but yes, get the plastic fender shield. I have both sides sitting in my garage, seeing that stereo power cable I assume that is the driver side you need right? You can find them online at auction sites for about $50-60, I'll do both sides for $50 shipped or one side for $30 shipped.... Let me know..

Passenger side! I would happily buy that off of you if you please.

I don't see a cable or the plastic insulation for the cable for the hood release. if it wasn't for that I would say its the drivers side as well.

Oh this brings me back..........

Let me give you a bit of advice...

1st off be damn glad its not on the driver side, second tape it up & get the liner re-installed as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!
I owned a SC4 yrs ago road it low & the tire trimmed into fender liner & exposed wires... Long story short the main wire harness for the car is under the driver side fender liner & after time of driving in all the elements 1 by 1 system in the car would shut down or burnt out, my trainys wire harness burnt out from a short & i had to re do that harness & the trainy cuz it caused serious damage, the doors opened whenever they felt like it, sunroof would shorted out on me (while open) & @ the end I had to have 2 wires touching some sort of metal positive/negative in the car so the lights would come on!!!!!! & that was ater I had a Toyota Tech (friend of mine) keep my car for a month or so & completely rewired it
Needless to say i was young & dumb & it was my second Lexus the only 1 I have ever Mickey Moused....

Moral of the story GET THE FENDER LINER ASAP!!!

Here is a good site for Lexus parts http://www.mylparts.com/ Good luck my friend...

Come 2 think of it, I miss SC right about now. . . . .

Yes but you can rub through that one easily as well. I just did. I was too busy watching drivers side.

OB,
Is there a way to unplug/disconnect it, or do you have to cut it, re-route, re-connect.

Thanks!
