Piece came off car, but what's it called?

Hey all,
Driving to Melbourne this piece flew off my 91' Astina. I've heard this piece coming off is pretty comon but can't remember what it's called.

Is it just called the side pillar or something?

Its an A Pillar.

A-pillar garnish.

They get brittle with age and are not the easiest part to find second hand.

What should you expect to pay for this at max?

Hard to find second hand and many wreckers want around the $150 Mark per pillar

Look on ebay for the fiberglass versions. Think they are around $150 a pair.

Wow, not a cheap piece of covering huh. Thanks though, I'll probably go with the ebay one!
