wheel well trim

Hi everybody, the other week the plastic splash gaurd/trim that lines the wheel well of my front passenger wheel fell off on the freeway. I think it was just due to those plastic rivet things being really worn down, because i noticed they were in poor condition when i took that part off last month to put my cai in.

Anyways, i was looking around to get a new one before the rainy season so my intake has some protection, but i was having a little trouble.

I was hoping to not go through a dealer because i know they will probably charge me 4 times the price the part is actually worth, so does anybody know any good places i should check for these sorts of parts?

any suggestions appreciated, thanks.

also, is having no protection between the intake and the ground right now a problem, or is it just going to make the filter dirtier quicker?

Try a local second-hand parts dealer. If you live in Oakland, check out recycler.com as well

And yes, I've had mine "fall off" before...but it was in a garage...not on the freeway xD

the piece costs anywhere from $11~$65 depending on who you get it from (I believe my replacement was $14 from Pick-A-Part Auto)

Re: wheel well trim

the dealership told me $91 cuz they need to "special order" it, haha

but so anyways, i tried recycler.com, but only found rims and stuff like that.

do you know any good junkyards around oakland that might have what im looking for?
