Xposted to b0st0n. I didn't see anything in the tags..

Hi all - I hit a bad bump/maybe the curb on the Mystic Parkway and am now missing a hubcap. Does anyone know/have experience iwth junkyards around here that might have auto salvage to pick thru?Alternatively if anyone has a bead on an 02-05 Camry 16" hubcap I'd like to talk.

I'm not paying the dealer $80 for 1.5 lbs of plastic, that much is certain!

Reply x-posted as well. If you lost it in Somerville or Medford it may already be at Nissenbaum's.

There's a house on Fairmount, near Tufts, that has a backyard piled high with hubcaps. I don't know if the person has a legitimate hubcap-selling business (maybe on eBay?) or is just a hubcap collector or hoarder.

You can see the backyard full of hubcaps from Capen St. E. on the Tufts campus if you look down the hill.

I have used Jack's Used Auto Parts (http://www.usejack.com/) in Billerica before. I don't know how their hubcap selection is, although Camry hubcaps should be Pretty Damn Common.
