It's guy's like these which are ruining the hobby.
Damn guys asking high prices like crazy.

We are all in the same game, the same passion.
But some just go overboard!

I'm still a student trying to get my oval together cause a started with a shell and nothing else.
Guys like these make my wallet go 'Oh hell no, he's crazy' :lol:

I've noticed, for whatever reason, that a lot of the "high-priced" sellers on here often have things described wrong or don't know what they are selling.

I guess that goes hand in hand sometimes.

His other items are pretty high too.

What really sucks are other douche bags will see those prices and price their own parts accordingly based on those very ads. :x

Good eye,

I had just taken the filter off and needed to realign that side of the bumper. I guess a loose bolt does make it whine worthy. To answer your question, I installed the bumpers 8)

I dont know about you.. but $999 for this.. Now.. dont get me wrong.. I'd probably pay it, if it were in better condition, as I need one (Kinda).. and by better condition, I mean.. without the hammering dings all over that were used to try to get it straight.. Just my opinion.. I'd say about $400.. and that might be overshooting my guestamation..

Can someone explain to me why an NOS panel would have holes from drilled out spot welds on it??

Wolfsburg West makes a decent repro of that part. It's so nice and clear your license light can almost perform as a roadside shop light for the engine bay.
Not to derail, but was that the original intention behind the inner lense?

Whats the point in having NOS if its flawed like that? Plus its no longer NOS once it goes on the car. Love it.
