Default Black Plastic Engine Cover and Clips

Lexus ES 350 2007 - After oil change and tune up, for some reason tech did not put the black engine cover back on my car. Where can I purchase along with the clips?

Was it at a Lexus dealer, if so run back there and raise hell even if it was six months ago.

if not junk yard is best bet my little battery cover portion is broken that’s $60 for that little piece. Clips I found some knock off ones on amazon I’m going to probably buy as half of mine are missing/broken.

You can have mine, but you have to pick up. The panels trap heat; so , left them off many moons ago.

I found it weird that the 2013 generation has the same motor but they deleted the cover. Quess that trapped heat makes sense as the main reason to omit it.

Nothing technical but just a cost reduction which was not passed on to the buyer.
