damn, i threw mine out last weekend! i'm going to get one made up out of 3mm steel. plan on going llllow. wouldnt cost a lot if you took them the template and it's only one bend really. could even make your own out of sheet, and then get someone with a bender to put the crease in if you're handy with an angle cutter?
you could perhaps entertain that? they are nearly 250 bucks new from toyota/lexus so dont bother askig there.
you can also get pre-fabbed ones off YAJ but they're probably a bit expensive by the time they get here.

About 2 years ago I left mine off for a while and my engine bay temp went down and I gained about 60 K's extra per tank around town , so I promptly put it back on just to see and sure enough I lost about 50K's per tank , took it off again and the fuel mileage increased , I left it off and it hasn't been on the car since , I have told a couple of other people about this and they had the same results I did so they have left theirs off as well . So maybe you should just not bother with it .

my last car was 65mm at the lowest point, i don't expect this one to be much different - and given the sumps hang very low, a 3mm bash plate would be peace of mind.
but i'm running no cover at the moment. interesting about the fuel economy. that would be i guess due to heat soak in and around the intake causing the MAF to adjust the fuel mix to run it richer.
