After getting the stealership price of US$ 93 plus tax (EACH) for the 855 tail gate struts, someone said 'go look on eBay'. FCP had pairs of Stabilus (OEM) struts for US$46 DELIVERED.

Great packaging/protection, as-advertised, and quick delivery. Many thanks, Yankee!

You know it! I was at a local dealer yesterday picking up the hose clamp and o-rings in preparation for my transmission flush. While I was there I had them run some prices for me, it's freakin ridiculous what the dealer charges for things, here are a couple of examples:

I was curious what the dealer charged for a set of spark plug wires for the 854T..$98 without the coil wire, FCP prices is $49 for OEM with coil wire. I think the ohter dealer in town charges like $80 for this.

My front bumper cover has a small crease in the the driver's side (this is the gray plastic piece), part number 3512818, this is like $289 at the dealer and $195 at FCP.

The infamous black weatherstrips on the roof cost $150/piece at the dealer and $115 at FCP.

Ridiculous, I tell you!

I've ordered from them a few times and everything was great.
The last time I ordered they stated the big brake kit would fit with my 16" wheels and I asked them several times before I ordered it.
I put them on and the wheel didnt fit. I had to change back my old rotors wasting alot of time and quite disappointed. I did call them and they said they would take them back. But I had to pay duties and the whole thing already cost me alot. And when I got the kit it was in a bag since the box didnt withstand the cross border shipping.
I'll end up shelving the kit until i find some 17" wheels.

Complaint wit FCP...SS lines were wrong size and screwed up my hardlines...Still waiting to see if they are going to compensate me for anything since it took $150 to have my mechanic fix things. They sent me out a new set no prob tho...

just to add a little extra experience : ordered again from them with overseas shipping...they quoted me 34.xx$ shipping and stuck to it. Received the package and it shows they paid a tad over 40$ for shipping!

usually companies charge me double shipping they pay, wow.
