First post here. Never have needed advice but my Honda 2006's Drip side molding has completely fallen apart. I started to look online for it and found it, but the issue is all the OEM places want to charge like 180 bucks for shipping a piece of rubber. Even eBay seem to have these marked up. So before I purchase both sides I figured I would see what their purpose is.

Any thoughts on if I need these? I am in SoCal. If So, Any recommendations on where I can go that will not charge me 180 bucks for shipping? I contacted my local Honda Dealer to see if I can get them through the parts department but figured I would ask the experts.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or recommendations.
