I am getting a new body kit put on this week and while test fitting the side skirts I had to pull out the wheel well linings to get a better fit. The process of removing these requires a finesse I don't have. (neither does Hawiianbuilt) We snapped a few of the clips off and I went to the dealer to replace them today. I should have been ready for the worst since it is a dealer item...but...I wasn't prepared for this.

Clip number One:

This clip sells for $3.85 each. I needed 10 of them.

Clip number 2:

These are a bargain at $1.73 each. I needed 10 of them as well.

My advice if you have to remove these is to be extremely careful!

wow, those are expensive!

did you go to Scion of Glendora to get those parts? you get 20% off since they sponsors Scinergy. i dont know does that even matters.

That first one looks like the standard pop pin that most body shops seem have big buckets of generic versions... I've even seen those at auto parts stores.

Can't tell for sure with the second one - it may be 'special.'

Those dealer prices are insane.

This is the price you pay for having to finish a job before a show. I didn't have time to hit the depots or S.O.G. for the discount.

Once again, Tomas has proven that he is a bottomless well of information. I saw a few items that look like they would fit on the two sites. Thanks Tomas, as always, you rock!

(the only saving grace is that I made a friend at the parts counter and he is changing dealerships to the one right by my house )

Try this place. It's a great site and somewhat cheap compared to the dealer and auto shops. Better to have more then not enough. I use this site for my VIP Tables.

Look under trim retainers 2. You might find some for Toyota there. A bag of 25 run about $8.00
