Power converter cover

When I first saw that the power converter is exposed with a high voltage warning sign, I wasn't feeling comfortable if I has to work inside the engine room. As you can see below:



Also there is a wire cover missing as mentioned here:

So I looked for the pieces and found them to be Toyota parts that were not included in the US version. I ordered them from Japan and installed as you can see below:


These are the brackets (stock on the left and the new one is on the right with extra slot to hold the cover).



There are also covers for the coolant reservoir for both the engine and the converter, but I didn't care for those.

I also bought the wire harness cover below:

No instructions but rather simple: remove the bracket to the left of the inverter and remove the 2 harnesses BEFORE puling out the bracket. Note that the top harness connector you have to press on the tap to pull it out but the lower one you must pull the tap UP. Install the included bracket that has extra slot to catch the plastic pin lock, insert the harnesses back. To install the cover, there is a hole on the outside of the right wall of the inverter so you have to insert the felt covered peg on the bottom right of the cover in to that hole first. Push the plastic pin lock in. If you want a cleaner look, you have to cut the bottom of the cover to blend in with the top panel. As for the big hole which I assume it's for other model, I put the emblem over as seen below:



I later decided to cut the bottom part.

 

Agreed.
