Default What are you paying for your accessories?

I want to get the rear bumper guard for the I2 and install it myself. I am curious what price range they are out there.

Also I was pretty blown away by my dealer(stealer) pricing on some parts for my Honda Pilot. It is a 2003 Pilot so some of the small parts have started to break off. The passenger side step cover got loose and the plastic pins that hold it broke off. No big deal, I bought a bunch form my old BMW from a place online for about .25 each. So while getting my USB installed on my new Insight I thought I would make a list of small parts I needed and would get them while at the dealer. I needed a couple of those clips and a couple door light covers. He just about floored me with the price for the clips. They were about $3-$4 each. Yep those plastic clips I paid .25 for were that much. The other light covers were up there as well and they would have to order them for me. I couldn't belive it. So I got home and pulled out the ones from my old BMW and what do you know! They fit the same! I bought a bunch of parts for my BMW from a place called Pelican Parts but haven't found a similar place for Honda. Any ideas on where to get good parts without paying through the nose? I checked out some places for that bumper guard I mentioned above and they are all in the $70 range for the OEM but there are some out there that are $45 just without the Honda logo so they aren't OEM but may be just as good. We are just talking a big sticker after all.
