Default Anyone have a b-pillar for a 3ES laying around?

I just purchased a 97 ES300 that is missing the passenger side b-pillar. I know that these have clips that hold them on that break when removed. I plan to try to attach the used b-pillar somehow. I'm willing to pay shipping and maybe a small fee for the part.

Thanks.

Buy it, and the clips from the local, or an online Lexus dealer. They're not that expensive.

I believe the pillar covers are no longer available from Lexus.

Oops, for some reason I thought they were around $30-$40. Try this site:

http://car-part.com/

At least get the clips from the dealer.

Awesome site. Thanks for sharing. But I didn't have any luck searching for b-pillar(or pillar) on there.

Cheapest I have found anywhere is $67 shipped on ebay for an OEM part. I may have to go that route. I was just kind of hoping that someone might have one laying around with broken clips that I could try to make work.

Just search that site for a place near you that has your model Lexus in their yard. Look for any other part if you want as it may not go under B pillar

If you find your model Lexus near by, they are sure to have that Pillar on the car. Call them first. You'll still need to buy new clips.

Thanks for the suggestion Phil. Sounds like a good plan. I found clips on Ebay for ~$7 for a pack of 8.

Bought a new one off Ebay for $67 shipped. I got it today and it is OEM. It fits and looks great but it might be the most expensive piece of plastic I have every purchased.
