Since being lowered I've had mine removed. I've had no change in MPGs, and I DD my 350.

One of mine was missing and the other was dangling. I stopped by the Lexus dealer and picked up the one bracket for $30ish and the clips for another $10. I also drilled another hole through the bracket and used a sheet metal screw to hold them on better. No issues since.

Just buy a pack of those clips and keep replacing them as they pop out every so often. You can try some 3M tape in between too.

Thanx man! Just what I was looking for. If you use part number: 75867 30120 you will find all the alt parts out there for sale. The price for the OEM is just stupid.

I initially replaced the clips, but they just broke again over time so I just zip tied them as well. The zip ties will last a lot longer than the chintzy clips and you can't see it anyway so it's a non issue.

Mine was dangling today and I took it off. Contemplating whether to replace it or not.

^ I would defiantly replace it. Can find a good used one cheap on ebay. Plus, it stops the rocks from chipping your paint.

Thanks!
I had the same problem, went by my local lexus parts dept. The gave me the replacement plugs for free. Super easy to fix. Good luck !

I bought these at AutoZone. Still good and never popped off again. They are a slightly larger diameter, and grab well vs OEM.
