That will look pretty good once it's blacked out.

I hate covering the engine since it gets in the way, but I was thinking about how it would look with an NA-T set up by extending the passenger side plastics (lol KKKalifornia)

I think that on the cover, instead of a lexus symbol, it should have lexus written in big letters. I think that would offset the symbol on the timing cover.

Does it bolt up to the VVTI version? If not how did you attach it?

if you get is/gs exhaust side valve cover and the intake manifold, you will have mounting points for the engine cover already.
it's easier if you fab up your own points though.

Fabbed up my own points. Used JB weld, but that didn't work, I am going to try to weld the bolts on because I don't want to do any drilling.
