Bonnet struts from SGS are well worth it too 

And fyi if you want to complete the OEM look there's also some moulding that goes here...

Can't see in the pic but the piece of wood has Lexus written on it 😉 but I do have the struts, the Mrs has kindly misplaced them for me!

Good spot, I will have a look in my box of bits to see if I have the moulding. Gonna have to have a clear out of parts at some point I've accumulated so much in such a short space of time!

Also realised the Battery is a Lion, so that'll be used as intended, a very large door stop... 😂

Ah, didn't realise it was OEM. Carry on.

carry on ....  yes, I carried on with mine on my Mk1 for very many years ....... s'pose the issue is that an owner has to very rarely open the bonnet in between taking the car to the garage for service and MOT etc .......................  and the rarity of that seems to loosen the brain cells into thinking " why bother ", the piece of wood will do

Maybe an oak or elm stave could be OEM and have been issued by Lexus from new
