Default Trivial rubber seal piece for hood, where to buy?

I am so sick of the dealer over pricing everything. Where do you buy parts instead? I am looking for the rubber piece that runs along the hood to keep a tight seal when hood is shut, I just need it for one side. Dealer wants $65 for that little piece . Any suggestions where to find it cheaper?

I'd try looking on the net for a "high-end" junk/parts yard. I say a listing on Ebay recently that stated they only stock high-end parts cars and they sell anything off of them. Perhaps a Google search or an eBay search could net you some contact info on them. Wish I could remember what they were called...but I believe they are located in TX.

If you want OEM parts at a discount, try Sewell Lexus. They're vendor on here and give us a CL discount if you register.

If you're in NorCal you can also go with LexTuners.com - they'll price match Sewell and shipping is free.
