WANTED: rubber hood bumpers

Anyone have a few rubber hood bumpers laying around they'd like to give/sell?

Toyota has new ones for $15 each- they have to ship from japan... that is pretty steep- I don't need anything quite so extravagant.

Thanks!

Guess SOR has not caught up with Toyota on this yet. $10.45 each. Still a proud price.

I may have to buy new ones... it's just hard to spend $15 on a little chunk of rubber

I've actually spent more on less...then again, I try not to remember that I did.

I think I may have some wandering around about here...but I wouldn't count on it.

I may also look at some other rubber options, I certainly have faith in my ability to carve out a rectangular chunk with a hole in it

Just out of curiousity....has anyone found bumpers from other manufacturers that will work (Not J**P...please don't cast stones) in the event you are after function rather than OEM?
I took some off an old Torino a while back and threw them in the corner never having taking the time to check

Why not just go to the rubber/gasket distributors and pick up a 1-2" thick neoprene gasket material and cut it to shape? I think you can buy a strip for less than 20 dollars and make a bunch of your own. I think you could even find short rolls for sale online. just a thought. ty
