Default Plastic Engine Cover Panel

My recently acquired 2009 GX 470 has the passenger side engine cover missing. I know some of you guys take them off. Anyone have one in mint condition that they would like to sell?

It is also missing the rubber plug for the tow hitch.

Thanks!

You'll need the clips too, more than likely.

Two plastic nuts (90467-06144) and 3 plugs (90467-07117).

If you're having to replace that, the plugs along the front panel are likely missing too. There's 12 total (90467-08217). Usually the result of a lazy mechanic that didn't want to deal with the covers when performing work.

If I were you I'd save some money by removing the other side and the huge trash can lid intake cover too and keep them off. All those plastic pieces do is trap in dirt and debris, make it a pain to clean the engine bay having to remove a hundred clips to get to everything and they trap hot air in your engine bay.
