ext. a pillar trim

my driver side exterior a piller trim ripped off at high speed a week back and it is time for a new one. nobody has one from a salvage yard and the dealership wants 70 bucks with the backing pad, are there any aftermarket offering, possibly in cf look? thanks

Check Minimania.com

Those clips keep breaking and I keep replacing them... I guess I'm having too much fun cornering.

They are not at junkyards because they are not salvageable. The whole piece snaps when you take it off. I had a chip in mine when I bought it and I replaced it with one from the factory. The way the clips secure the pillar prevent it from sliding off in any direction. The pillar ended up in 2 pieces.
