Default Looking for door key plugs

I am looking for door key plugs for my 2013 ES. Do they even come with plugs? In case I'm unclear on what I'm looking for.... My ML320 had black plastic covers inserted where a physical key would go in. This gave the door handle what I consider a polished look. If my battery died on the key, it would be easy enough to use the physical key and pop out the cover open the door and go about entering the car. My husband's Jag has this also.

Because my car is used, I have no idea if they are missing or were never included with the original purchase.

No, I understand what you are saying but have never seen such a thing. Earlier models had a different door handle design with a removal cover but it was problematic I think. I appreciate your attention to detail though, I had to go out to my car to see what you were talking about.

Check out bumperplugs.com I don't know if they have Lexus specific plugs but they do have colored door key plugs for other cars that probably would work. GL
