so, just the other day, I noticed my 2009 Corolla’s tire shield trim was looking like it had seen better days. I mean, c’mon, how does it even get so messed up? It’s like my car has a personal vendetta against staying pretty. Anyway, I started hunting for a replacement.
I checked auto parts stores around me, but they looked at me like I was asking for a unicorn. Then I hit up some online shops, and I found a few options on eBay and Amazon. But shipping costs are kinda crazy sometimes, right? Has anyone tried junkyards? I hear they can be gold mines for stuff like this.
And if you’ve replaced yours, do you have any tips? I don’t wanna be that person who messes it up and ends up in a glue disaster. Just looking for some friendly advice here.
