I thought, hmmmm, $30. Then the guy said it would be $110 to get 2 measly little turbo badges! cr@p eh?Well, have any of you guys been ripped off by overpriced genuine accessories from any car maker? please state if so.thanks.

These are the prices I received from the dealer for the boot repairs, as detailed on the quote. Note, these are excluding GST.Boot Lid Badge - Falcon $15.10Boot Lid Badge - Turbo XR6 Red $46.40Expensive I agree, but lets face it, Ford have to make their money some how, and it always seems to be the accessories which get clobbered.

He said they were $55 each, and I wanted 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Isher Guests Posted 03/10/03 12:26 AM Share Posted 03/10/03 12:26 AM I still think they should have used a different sticker on the side body kit than the standard XR6 sticker. Every time I see an XR6 I have to stop and gawk just to see if it is a T or not. I think they should have done somthing like XR6t with the 't' in RED...Isher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
