Feel bad for the poor soul who buys into this..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1982-1992-PONTIAC-FIREBIRD-TRANS-AM-KNIGHT-RIDER-KITT-KARR-FIBERGLASS-TURBO-HOOD-/251509679298?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a8f2524c2&vxp=mtr Asking $1399 for a normal turbo bulge hood lol. I suppose he thinks he can make a mint by slapping "knight rider" on it lol. Fiberglass is cool and all, but it's not worth this much, is it?

It looks like a well made piece. I wouldn't pay 1400 for it though.

Re: Feel bad for the poor soul who buys into this..

One of the biggest problems, I see, is that other sellers of thirdgen parts are going to look at that and jack the prices up of their parts. I've seen normal firebird parts listed wrongly as "gta" parts and priced accordingly. Same with base Camaro parts listed as "Iroc" parts and priced accordingly. No offense ebay sellers, I'm talking about outside folks "not in the know."
