    I lost the trim ring for the front left tire of my 04 (either it came loose during a commute, or someone stole it...unlikely though). I'm now looking for a replacement. Toyota Parts quoted me $32 for one of those suckers... I'm hoping someone has one lying around that they don't want. Any offers?

    Thirty-two dollars is crazy! That's part of the reason why I dislike dealers so much.
    Anyway...

    You could probably track down someone (even here on PriusChat) who could sell or give you a wheel ring. There are a lot of people out there who have just taken them off.

    I take mine off in the winter months, so the best I could offer you would be a seasonal loan.

    Sorry I can't help more.
    I wish you good luck in finding an inexpensive ring.

    P.S. I'm curious about the significants of your avatar.

    Oh...she's just a character from a japanese game I still love to play, Sakura Taisen 3. (BTW, her name's Lobelia). It's pretty much my favorite pic of her.

    Of side interest Lobelia is the name of a plant genus. L. erinus is found in flower boxes and hanging plant arrangements. L. inflata is an herbal, though I am not sure what it is used for

    And actually, all the female characters in the game I mentioned are named after flowers (i.e. Sakura, Iris, Hanabi, etc).

    Contact Steve G out at Carson Toyota - he usually offers great prices to members of communities like PriusChat.
