Default Need some help please

I have a 2008 xb. I need to replace the c pillar panels (I had some amps mounted there and have since moved on) The toyota dealership wants $321 a piece for replacements.

Can anyone help me find a new set? I checked trd sparks and all I see there are the nets. There are not many junk yards around where I live.

Hopefully I can source a pair from a totaled car.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Geez, rolling back from an externally amplified system with aftermarket HU to a factory setup? Something must have really gone South for you -- sorry to hear it and good luck !

yeah I'm selling it. I was hit by a person making an illegal U turn and rear ended on the freeway in two months time. The damage was all fixed but I'm just done with xbs for a while.

Geez, being slammed twice by idiots within just two months would be pretty hard to take. Hope you have better luck with whatever replaces it.

PS. I've often felt that if we could just get rid of most of the "other drivers" out there, the road would be a much safer and more enjoyable place to be. Fat chance, I guess !

Yeah your telling me The retard that made the U turn in front of me was drunk. The police wouldn't even come out because no one was hurt.





So each accident ended up costing State Farm about $8,000.

And I'm effed because all though all of the repairs were done w/ genuine toyota parts when I try and sell it the carfax report is going to show two accidents. FML

Man! Maybe I should just keep driving my ancient Eclipse and continue leaving the xB2 under the car cover. Seems like ancient cars are rarely in accidents, whereas newer cars almost seem to attract them! Major drag dude, my sympathy !
