Went to the dealership

So i went to the dealership today for an oil change and while i was there i asked about pricing of an HD grille and black XLT a/c vents they quoted me $25 for each vent and $170 for the grille, $25 FOR EACH VENT!! thats $100 for 4 plastic pieces anyone wanna trade? Also looked at a new front bumber mine needs fixed anyways so i asked about putting an 06 bumber on my 04 he said it would be double the price to repair beacuse they will have to change the brackets and fog light wireing but it really should't be that difficult my brackets will have to be replaced anyways because there bent, i swear anything to get a little extra out of you

Maybe I'm just used to being reamed or something, but I honestly don't feel that price is all that bad. If you want them any cheaper, call around to junk yards and rip 'em off a totaled one.

somebody throw me a pic of the lariat vents( if that's what you have and i'll see if i like them). 170 for the grill is about 20 bucks too much. My dealer here in savannah quoted me 153 and i think they are a high priced dealer so they must be trying to put a thumb up your a$$. Call around closer dealerships. Those new foglights dont impress me though. I like the regular bumper. Good luck though and shoot me a pic of the lariat vents

The vents i have are FX4 vents i think the XLT vents would look much better and match the interior or my FX4, they are silver with chrome rings

I know this is a few month old thread, but did you ever get those AC vents? 100 bucks for 4 of them are way way way way to high! I sold my XLT vents for 35 bucks plus shipping which came out to be 42 bucks for all 4!

there all over e-bay though if you have not yet found a good price on them. The highest I saw were them going for 45 bucks.

Look for a set of all black vents from an XL or STX and put the chrome from your vents on them. The black vents are usually available much, much, much cheaper. I did this on mine and love the color combination. They are in my gallery if you want to see them.

You can find the vent's on ebay most of the time. I saw them on there last week for around $60.00.
