Default Part ID Help

Good morning Club! My 2014 ES350 has been missing a part here below the passenger seat, and I'm having trouble finding the part online. If someone could head to their garage and get me the part number of this, I will dance at your wedding and cry at your funeral!

That's just a plastic "plate" that has the VIN on it. Those things are annoying because they are always falling out: I'd just lift the carpet and slap a bit of duct tape in a beige colour over the two holes. (I used a piece of two-sided Gorilla tape to keep the plastic cover in place).

That piece was knocked loose on my car when I bought it (used) and I figured a detailer caused that by vacuuming and possibly shampooing. The replacement advertised part does not have the VIN#, as far as I can tell? All the parts to this car are outrageously priced. I compared a single headlight assembly priced at $600 for a '15 ES to a my old '05 Buick's at $44. Sure, they're far from identical, but is it 15x better? I didn't need one, I was just curious. All the more reason to take well care of this vehicle. I doubt you could go to a junkyard and find parts for it, either.

I think the plate actually covers the VIN which is stamped into the framing…you can see part of the VIN at the right-hand end under the carpet. Yes, $40 for a piece of injection molding is ludicrous…double sided tape if you haven’t lost it yet, duct tape if you have.

Yes, that's where the VIN# was stamped. Not on the cover, which is a little flimsy. No wonder yours was lost. Mine isn't very snug. Notice the glove box dividers when you change your cabin filter. It's the same material quality. Handle with care.

Hey Team, new part to identify here. 2016 ES300h. I opened the engine hood this morning to find the below part just sitting on the flat surface to the left of the hood latch. Any help here? Thx in advance.
