The price that Parts Heaven was much lower (I think) If I remember right it was like 300 new, If your shopping, just call them...
tweeks is like 600... Andrew PS: Andy if you dont use the one from jenny's, I might buy it off you if its in good condition (nothing major) and if the price is right.. Unless you have some other plans for it. |

I bought 1 a few years ago from a local auto glass place. Wasn't all that expensive, maybe $250 installed. Mine is a PPG with the shaded strip across the top. Call around or ask the body shop that did your paint who they recommend. Body shops always know who does a good job and who to stay away from.

Craig Laughlin had one at the Portland Swap meet a week or so ago. Brand new. I think his ID here is Boxster.

Why do I bother???? Group: Members Posts: 633 Joined: 8-September 03 From: Madison, MS Member No.: 1,123 |
I had a guy come out and replace mine in my driveway for $140 brand new. He also offered to put some rubber trim around it at no extra charge. (I had removed all the trim so he didn't hamage it.)

I have a friend whose father was second in command on a U-boat. He would tell me stories of how they would sit off the east coast or in the St. Lawrence and "disrupt shipping".
