Default '97 inspection cover?

Hello everyone,
I just got my second SC. It was missing the lower inspection cover, the pice you take off to do an oil change. I have tried posts on other sites for cars that are being parted…
Does anyone have a source for these?

Thanks for reading and any help!!!

That whole plastic cover gets trashed and hard to find intact. There's a guy selling an aluminum replacement out there. google JZZ30 aluminum cover and you'll find it. I've been thinking of getting one but may just try to fab my own since i have a 300 and don't need the little door.

There is another one on eBay that is listed as a "rear shield" but kind of pricey... Plastic.... Not sure if this is the one you are trying to replace or the "front" one under the front bumper cover...

what inspection cover... ripped that out years ago.

you could also just get a stock one and drill a 4 hole under where the oil filter area is, that will save mechanics from ripping it up each time, oh wait on my car I am the mechanic

$250 to add another step in changing my oil and $45 shipping...no thanks. I bought the BFI kit from that guy, it was nothing special to say the least, I should have just made my own. Don't waste your money.

PO trashed mine and never replaced it. Also did the same to the engine fan cover. I'm eternally grateful that both are gone. Other than running a little quieter I can't see any benefit to having them as they just get in the way, catch dirt and get messy.

This is what you need. It's made out of aluminum and has the oil filter access panel.
