Check EBay...you can pick up a bag far cheaper than buying a few at a dealer.

Just search on line for a Toyota or Lexus (same plastic snap rivet) parts source. You could also call a local dealer for the part number.

Boxes of assorted Toyota/Lexus push clips on ebay for $10-$20 depending upon the number in the kit. Well worth it if, like me, if you tend to buy several Lexus vehicles and do a lot of the maintenance work yourself. Just search for "Toyota push clips" on ebay. The same search on Amazon.com will also show many buying options. The prices work out to about 5 cents per clip.

Thanks, Reggie1. It's also not a bad idea to pick up a set of plastic removal tools. The one in the picture is almost, but not quite universal.

My LX570 is a 2015. The Toyota part # for the clips that I bought is 90467-07211. A bag of 10 was cheap online.
