my engine bay covers are generally ok but the areas near the holes are a bit messed up from people not using the proper plastic rivets which then requires them to really pry and yank it out. So if someone could provide me with a picture of what is actually supposed to be in there from factory or maybe even a part number that would be great. I've managed to replace a few with something that works better. But I would like to see what was there from factory and try to replace it with that.

Are new engine bay covers.. especially the side black ones expensive?

Thanks

 

It's a Lexus.
Everything is expensive.

 

I have one of those "plastic push pin" assortments off of Amazon, works like a charm for me.

Link here:
The clips aren't exactly the "same" in terms of aesthetics to the Lexus ones, but work perfectly and in my opinion are much more secure and not as brittle.

 

 

That's true everything on the LS460 is Expensive. I went to the Lexus dealership to get the two door lights 2 cost me $67.00 dollars.

 

thanks for the response guys.. I aint stupid I'm not buying anything from direct Lexus for a car in Ukraine that is from 2007... what is the point in that. However I am interested in knowing the price of the side Engine bay covers if anyone has bought them before not directly. Or have swapped them out because you have OCD like me LOL

the MAIN question here is what are the factory plastic rivets like, just so I know and I can search for alternatives. I got some similar ones which have to be removed

 

Go on Wish.com you can get TONS of them for like $3.... I have plenty now after a few orders (maybe spent $15), The ones under the car are bigger.

 

www.clipsandfasteners.com I usually buy a box of each type (inner fender, under hood, etc.) for each of my cars so I have a full assortment just in case I need them....... Comes in handy!

BTW! This is a good company to deal with and the quality is equal to OEM.

 

Appreciate all the responses.. HOWEVER I still do not know what EXACT rivets the car came with from factory.

 

I tried a couple, I liked these the most so far as they don't require a tool -
If you want the OEM ones they're part 90467-07211 - https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/...odel=&Filter=()

The center silver engine cover is $280 here - https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/...er-head,,11209

If you look in the same 'cylinder-head' section for the other sub assembly parts, the black plastic side pieces appear to be $30-40 each.

 

Those are the small ones in the engine bay. But, over by the battery you need larger ones. Find the assortment box that has 10mm clips also.
