Default is250/is350 2008 engine cover difference?

Obvious there's a engine difference, but just curious if the engine covers are the same. They look exactly the same, but I could be very wrong. Thank you in advance and sorry for the newbie question.

lol i guess they are different then? I know its a very stupid question, but I have an engine cover that I 'thought' came out of an is250. Someone said it looks like it came out of a is350. i google'd it and i can not tell the difference between the two covers.

STOCK--> IS250 covers are black, IS350 covers are silver.

Also, I believe they have different mounting points underneath

Are you referring to the Top cover on the intake or the whole engine bay cover, too? There are 4 covers total. 1 on the top of the engine (this is where you say 350's is silver painted and 250's is black?). Then you have the front cover and 2 on the sides.

The 2014 has done away with the 2 side covers. There's the engine top cover, still silver painted (I used a 250 loaner) and just the front cover. I guess cost down.

^Yeah, I was surprised too when I popped the hood on the first 3IS I looked at; no side engine cover any longer.

I still want to get a 3IS engine cover in exchange for my 2IS engine cover.
