Its silhouette and the price is 1500.. Do you guys reckon that's a realistic price? Do they really go for 1850 unpainted from ford?Would it work out cheaper to buy it from ford and then have it painted?this is the link by the way: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FG-FALCON-XR8-BONNET-GENUINE-SILHOUETTE-BLACK-USED-/280566970847?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41531839df Edited 27/09/10 09:27 AM by pelagonia_F6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 27/09/10 09:47 AM Share Posted 27/09/10 09:47 AM depending on the Ford Dealer you speak to an unpainted price will range between $1400 & $1600. Speak to a parts guy and get a realistic price.They pop up on ebay every so often for around $1000, mine sold for $1200 but the sale fell through over shipping and I told the guy I would pick it up that weekend for $800. Deal done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me at the time they would do it and spray it for $800 all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 28/09/10 07:56 AM Share Posted 28/09/10 07:56 AM that's a good dealer. Mine wouldn't do it for me. I asked a few dealers if they would do it when I was shopping and they all said No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one in the West which was "black" when the rest of teh car is red. YUK!!!!!! So they must have got a few takers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
