http://www.ebay.com/itm/221210560681 I recently purchased these on ebay. They are identical to OEM and very inexpensive compared to dealer prices. I am cheep!
The downside is that your order takes 2 to 3 weeks to arrive from China. You can find them on ebay from U.S. sellers at higher prices. By the way, these clips work perfectly also and can be re-used if you understand how to remove them.

Just a heads up on the plastic clips that hold the engine cover on. I recent purchased a 2007 LS 460. While I was getting it smogged the tech and I started poking around under the hood. I grabbed one of the side plastic panels and it just about fell off in my hand. All of the plastic clips popped out and a couple fell into the engine compartment. So I started looking around and noticed I was missing a lot of the plastic clips and the ones that were on there were doing very little at holding the panels in place. The factory clips did not fit the holes as they should have, they were too small for the holes. I went to my local ACE Hardware and picked up a bunch of plastic automotive clips. They had all sorts of different kinds in different lengths and hole sizes. I found some great ones that hold all of my panels firmly in place. I picked about 10 extra ones to use as spares incase they brake or get lost. Let me know if you want me to post up a picture of the clips I purchased.

Retainer clips
I have noticed that the battery cover has clips that you push in to release, where the other engine compartment covers have clips that you push the center in to lock.
Does anyone have the part number for each style of clip, so that I can order some?
Thank you,

Ray, you can find the part numbers in this tread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...ning-clip.html I believe that you will find that each of the clips work the same if you have factory clips. If you push the center in far enough, the clip will release.

Which by the way had me thinking when I saw this on e bay last night.
If they cost us $0.24 cents each how much could Lexus pay for a few million at a time?
Makes you wonder!!!
