Default Identifying Trunk Items

Hi,

Long story short I had a horrible time at the body shop when my buddy crashed my LS400

When I went into the truck there was all kinds of twine in the back and this plastic piece and little pocket with nothing in it. I never realized this pocket was there and I was wondering what goes inside. Can anyone help identify this piece of plastic? I appreciate all the help!

The side pocket is for the factory tool kit. Nothing fancy but good in a pinch. Cannot identify the plastic piece

if you didn't notice the hole before it was probably full.

i don't think that random plastic piece goes in the trunk. i have taken my trunk apart twice and don't remember seeing that. what exactly was done to it? fender work? did any work involve the trunk lid

that random plastic piece is nothing, and so is that twine. it's garbage, something the body should should have cleaned up. if they left extraneous things like that, i can suspect them taking the tool box too...

random plastic is from one of the door pockets. the hole in the trunk is for the tool kit. the twine is factory. JDM option only of course.

well 99LS400, do you feel any better? we answered your questions.. so if you have a flat any time soon, I would go get a lug wrench, and check your wheels for locks.. did you grow up without a father?
you might also want to lift the floor pad and see if you have a spare and jack & handle...
