Finally I found the guy!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/S5-Splash-Sh...ht_2792wt_1348
Looks like he disappears whenever he sells this product. So, for future reference, his username in eBay is; trenshaw19. Quite pricey actually, $299.50. Although it comes with new mounting hardware, the air shroud and the engine undercover. I'll contact him when I have time to ask what's the difference with the OEM ones. And oh yeah, he's also the same guy that makes and sells the BFI!!!

You can, I checked it last night. For the engine under cover alone that's $150+, and then for the air shroud $50+, then you gotta add the mounting hardware and what not, so around $230+. And that's all with the Sewell Lexus discount we're getting.
I was thinking the same thing! Too bad my SC didn't come with the engine undercover, though I'm planning on creating a skid plate, I still need an undercover to mock up the right locations for the screws. It's part of my preparation for going low on static.

just curious if anyone knows, but if one switches to another front bumper whether it be t&e, origin, autocouture, etc..., does the stock under cover even work anymore? and if not would this one work?

It's $225, the rest is shipping. No, it isn't aluminum. He starts with a stock Toyota part but modifies it so that you don't have to unbolt it each time to access the oil filter. Instead, finger locks allow you to open an access panel. New bolts and clips come with it. I'm planning to keep my car awhile, so I'm thinking of getting it. Each oil change would make it seem worthwhile.

I believe that it comes for both the 300 and the 400. It replaces the plastic cover that goes from the bottom of the front bumper back to the front crossmember. The reason I want one is that it has a door to allow access to the oil filter and it isn't supposed to sag like the factory unit.

I wanted to make one of my own out of ABS plastic but the hard part is cutting all the slots and vents correctly to still keep the engine bay cool. Remember these vents just don't make things look clean they are designed specifically to cool down the car too because our SC's don't have a front grille.
