Re: This can't be right...

I was ready to order one and the thing that seems REALLY odd is when you add it to your cart, it never gives you any part number. ALL GM parts have an 8 digit part number. This site is NOT _GM_. I would stay away. It sounds like they just take your money, and then place the order for the GM part through GM. Since we all know these were discontinued, chances are they won't be able to fulfill the order.

Re: This can't be right...

Well, it will only tie up $35 to find out! Maybe call them Mon morn and get the scoop - because that's a deal!

I'd ask about the cover as well - $235 is a steal on that!

Re: This can't be right...

Yeah I was pretty shocked when I saw the price, I think It must be a reproduction, but that still pretty cheap even for repro. It might be worth a phone call.

Kinda what I expected... I'm glad I didn't waste the $35. I checked with their site before I was going to order and saw the "NO RETURNS ACCEPTED" in their return section.....
