Default Seat cowl woes !!

Man.... I've been searching Ebay and forums for the correct color (Titanium) cowl. Can't be found. I found blue,red,black and silver as in used oem stuff but not my color. I called my local stealer. They gave me the price and I swallowed my tongue about..... 200 bill's... wow!!! Well any of you guys have any ideas to buy the thing cheaper?? If not off I go Monday to place the order.

You could always get a black one and still look good.

I thought about it for a bit,but because of the paint lines I just don't think it would look right. We'll see but I have a feelin I'm going to have to bite the bullet and pay the price.

I do paint..... thing is that paint is gonna be about 100. The part 50 after shipping for the cheapo that looks good to me. Then the time to paint.... it doesn't come out cheap. Not to mention you may have some variation in the paint as far as either tint or the metalic. I think I'm just gonna order it and be done.

how are you searching?


are you searching seat cowls, or are you searching through the sub-category of bodywork, panels, etc? i get more results if i search through the sub-cats then if i just search for one item in the search bar.
