| Price of wheel hub cap
Hi,
just for comparison purposes, what's the price tag on a '99 wheel hub cap in your city/country?
I asked yesterday, thinking such a simple piece of plastic would cost around 10-15 €. But the price is 47 €+ 16% VAT = 54.52 €.  That's 73,60 US$ 
Obviously, my 100 looks a lot better now without the  cap 
The air filter cost me 33 € = 44,50 US$.

| That sounds like an awlful lot for center caps. Here, you can get new LX470 center caps from Sewell lexus for ~$35 each. I know in Japan, they are like $300/set of 4. I got slightly used ones off Ebay from a wheel shop, $35 for 4. I figured they're gonna get scratched anyways...

I guess if I find some they it will be worth buying them in the US, even with the added shipping cost.

Yes, I broke / lost the front left one on a close encounter with a guardrail. I still need to have the fender fixed and the bumper changed, so I'm not in a hurry. And as Jim_Chow says, it's going to get scratched soon, so no reason to pay a lot of $$$ for it.

| I had to replace the black centered caps on my '94, and I think they were around $60.
I could have gotten the silver only caps for less than half that much, but i wanted to keep the truck as it was originally. I paid dearly for my obsessiveness.

| I am looking for the 98' center caps that are chrome with the chrome toyota logo on them. I just need one (it's the five "finger" cap, not six). Anyone have one? | |

Not sure how much that will be from the US.

| C'Dog, yes it is. That would be really nice from you. The best and cheapest way I know to ship from the US is by US Postal Service. Please PM me if you get a quote and I'll send you a transfer or Paypal, or whatever you prefer, and my address.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot. | PM me your city and postal code. I think I may need that for a proper estimate. I'll check options at the post office early next week.
