Radiator Cover Apron for V6 with tow package?

My RAV did not have the radiator access cover when I bought it, and I suspected it was one of those things that mechanics deem unnecessary and just throw away when working on the car. I also had the thought that maybe there isn't any cover for V6 models with the tow package, since some of the parts places I'd looked for one make that distinction and say they don't have a part that fits.

Is there an official OEM part number for the apron that pins over the radiator in a 2011 V6 with said tow package?

I thing this plastic cover the same for v6 or four cylinder. Does not matter tow pack or not . Car body is the same. And I have no problem to remove and replace those plastic clips. They are expensive though. And actualy for me hard part to push center pin back before installing. The 4 side "leaves" some times break off.

Ref. push rivets - I bought replacement push rivets when I had removed the radiator cover and broke several from Ace Hardware, something like 50 cents apiece and better quality than OEM. Or if one doesn't mind waiting for a week or so, one can have more than one would ever need from Temu for generally less than $1 for the lot.

Quite a while back my wife told me about Temu. I did a few quick googles on what it was and quickly decided I would never order from them and would definitely not download their app. Others may have different opinions.

I don't use Temu's app., only order via computer. Have ordered perhaps 25 items, all have arrived. No quality problems. Many shipments originate from China. But Temu even tracks item progress from the shipper to the departure airport in China and then in the U.S. Everything has money back guarantee and free return shipping to Temu. There have been a lot of online rubbish and untrue statements, likely planted by people with prejudicial anti-China and anti-inexpensive pricing agendas. Customer service in the U.S. has been by U.S. personnel and has been fast and courteous.
