Default Plastic rivet for front engine cover

I need to get bunch of plastic rivets for my 2006 is250 front engine cover. There's a total of 11 and all of mine are missing or broken. Does anybody know the part number so I can order from Sewell? Or is there a better place to get them?

Nice, thanks. I also dropped a clip into the engine bay. Will it be easy for my mechanic to find it and take it out?

Maybe it dropped straight to the ground.

Yea I looked it up, you're gonna pay about $20 more going through Sewell with shipping and whatnot. Much easier to just go to the closest dealer for these parts.

The easiest solution is to take off the engine covers altogether. They serve no functional purpose.

Depends how you define functional. They serve the function of reducing engine noise (which is one reason Lexus put em there)... though as folks who buy short rams demonstrate some people consider that a negative.
