sure, the 250 cover rocks.

but what's under the 350 cover, rocks harder.

Hey, that's my car!!! It should be noted that my engine cover is painted glacier frost mica to match - most of us know already, but I'll say anyway that the stock engine cover is a matte silver.

Thanks for the compliments - as for what paint I used, I made sure my painter used the OEM Lexus 074 Glacer Frost Mica. He did a great job, it matches perfectly. PM me if you want more details.

What about the side engine covers? Not the engine cover in the center but the ones in front and to the sides... Those are interchangeable correct?

The 250's cover looks weak...like a flabby stomach verse the 350 which looks like a 6 pack!

LOL.

What does the F's look like??
