plastic firewall nut

I'm looking for the replacement plastic nut that holds the air box cover and fuse cover to the firewall. Two bolts stick out thru them. 4 of the 6 are missing. Not even sure what Lexus calls them.

thanks

90467-06155 is the part #. I opted to just remove the side covers.

I was told by Lexus that these covers serve a purpose not just to make it cosmetically pleasing. In fact it has to do with engine cooling as well as protection from the elements and air flow

Oh ya...so the Tundra, and all the other applications that use this same motor somehow cool better than the GX and don't need them? It's there to keep things tidy, and for sound deadening. That's it.
