They also come with clips. I thinl he is working on a tech artcle too. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | All those 12 parts would have been about $23 (including attachment hardware, bolts/clips) "back in the day" (present-day price is only about 67x more).
I think they were part of the $37 deluxe panel option (RPO-430).
Nonetheless, I'd say that JC's price is fair compared to prices I have seen for dented originals.
