The cover looks 100% very professional job!
My only advice is to remove the other pieces of plastic trim on the 2 sides - IMO all those plastic covers cheapen the engine bay. It's good to see some mechanicals under the hood after all it is an engine bay (look at what Audi has done with their S-line of motors)
If you keep those side plastic pieces you should have painted those too or now you have mis-matching pieces. Just my 2 cents, great job regardless.

Do a ebay search using "Lexus oil cap" and "is oil cap". Sort using lowest price and shipping. There's caps from $10 up to $100. Plenty of billet types. You might find a "F" later or you can ask the seller of the L cap if they have one.
