its 700 for a new ford tailgate w/o step plus all the other labor and cost

 

the platinum applique is just added to a standard 09 f150 tailgate, right?

 

3m tape i beleave...some had issue with them comeing loose

 

That sux, man. It's a new truck, go with the new tailgate.

Double whammy, the Flyers lost the game you went to.

I hate parking lots where they make you park in a designated spot. I much prefer to park far away, but that is not possible at an event like a Flyers game. When my 03 Dodge RAM was brand new, less than a month old, I took it to a Phillies game and somebody creased my rear bumper real good. Mystery dent - nobody saw anything. Typical Philly - "I like cheese but I ain't no rat" Insurance took care of it.

Look at the bright side, dem Iggles won today.

 

And the Phillies won! Now... back to the tailgate. I'm going to get a couple estimates. Will report back on the prices/options. But I'll most likely just get a new tailgate.

 

Ouch!
