hmm, I wonder if he's getting a Maclaren as well......

Damn, this 500 must be a real POS, lol

That is an overly inflated price, just like the wing, hood latches, etc.

I can relate to that.

I've learned to balk initially and then work your way up by rationalizing in any way possible. You then bump it up a notch by throwing "you can't live forever/only live once" into the equation and voila! You got what you wanted all along and made it past the internal bean counter!

I was referring to the overly inflated Ford OEM price for the vent. But since you bring it up, I see inflation elsewhere too.

I would buy from Terrance before I bought from AC. Looks like no CF anything in my future.

Didn't you get a carbon fiber hood? Or were going to get one. Sorry if I missed it.

It went horribly wrong. There will be no AC anything in my future.

I know exactly what you meant and I agree with you. My point was that you reach a point well past sticker shock and learn to research the shit out of things and (sort of) give up and pay the piper. To me, for something well done and maybe difficult to obtain, you go for it and then move on to the next one.

Looking back on it, I'm not.

Because of the look or the company? Both?

Eh, for that kind of money, whats the point? its cosmetic. Its not going to decrease the weight of the car or do anything except give it a different look. Im all for expression and such, but that is a lot of money that gets you (what)?

Thankfully, none here ascribe to such fiscal sense or we wouldn't be here! This whole experience is expression in the form of silly stupid power all rolled up in a fat lady begging to sing. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I dont know..... i think I'm fiscally responsible..... maybe?

$2k for a cosmetic oooo, ahhhh as opposed to a set of cup 2s or a track weekend....

Hmm, let me think about that.
