Default IS F air box clamp

Does anyone have a air box clamp? Mine must have came sometime while driving. Its MIA. Ill buy and pay for shipping.
I don't want to have to buy an intake or complete air box just for that clip.

Before you purchase a new clip, I would suggest carefully removing the clip that you still have and making sure it will still seal on the other side. The small plastic tab where the clip hinge goes through on the plastic airbox has a tendency to snap off there, rendering a new clip useless. I could never find a part number for just the clip.

I actually had to swap sides because it wasn't sealing at all. Well I have searched high and low for the part number. Lexus does not offer them separately from the box. I tried a couple other ones similar and none seem to fit right.

Mine fell off and I found it on the undertray. Now they have Gorilla tape on them.

I’ve seen some pics on autotrader of ISF engine bays with clips missing.

Try looking on FB marketplace. They come around sometimes. othwerwise Lexus but be prepared to pay a good chunk of change. I was lucky to find my clamps way down in the engine bay.

These clips are notorious for "going missing" and unfortunately Lexus doesn't manufacture just the clips for sale. You need to purchase an entire air box just for the clips.

Check with RC F owners who has gone aftermarket with an intake too. The airbox on both cars is the same part number.
