Default Where can I get a new engine compartment plastic cover?

Jiffy Lube "lost" one of my plastic engine covers (the one on the right that goes over the Master Cylinder). The dealership wants $104.00 for a new one. Yikes... Anyone know where I can get a new engine cover cheaper than at the dealer? I have tried to find one online, but I guess I must need the part no. or something because I can't find one...

If anyone can point me to a ink at one of the online places I'd be most grateful.

Your dealer should be able to give you the part # since they've already looked it up once.

How did they lose a cover that big?
Are they going to pay for it?

Never go to any Jeffy lube again!

Turns out it wasn't Jiffy Lube at all. They apparently do not top off the Brake Fluid and never have a reason to remove that panel. So the good news is, it must have been Lexus who left it off at the 45k service. I'll have to give them a call, but I feel certain they'll probably give me a new one for free. Nobody else has ever worked on the car.
