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.

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.

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.
