What?!? I got mine from the dealer, but I didn't pay that, nor would I. The clips are Lexus part # 90467-07211, and cost $1.74 each. They've changed the clips, though - these fill out the hole better and don't break NEARLY as easily. However, they are unfortunately a bit more difficult to take out than the original clips. To take these out, you have to work your fingernail into the center lip of the button, instead of just pressing the small head all the way down like on the original clips. Anyway, I like the new ones WAY better than the old ones...

haha why does it matter if the first letters are CAPS? anyway, i thought the newer ones were easier to remove. theres just a circle in the middle that you push down slightly andthen you can just pull it off as with the older ones. the thing with the new ones is that it's harder to push it back in when you want to put the cover screw back on.
They've been through about a dozen different designs in the last 15 years. I agree with jsquared, these new ones are a PITA to put back in because the center pin is hard to release.
I bet they have an engineering student design contest for these things...that's why they're always changing them.
