I got my 3 pieces through ECSTuning, $156 shipped total. My hood Seal and other parts were in good shape

Looks like you might be local to me. I relocated to San Antonio just a few months ago. If you ever need a reset of your service intervals or looking to do some coding, let me know. I just coded a few options myself.

Thanks, might take you up on that. I have Carly and can do some coding but nothing major. Plus they keep adding stuff but of course adding cost too like registering batteries.

Yeah, I just saw they had them for that. FCP was at $206ish... I'll save the $50. Thanks for the heads up.

I bought all 3 pieces off ebay for 57.94

they are exactly the same except the left and right pieces do not come with the foam gasket so you have to reuse the ones from your OEM part.

I figured there is no mystery to it just a plastic mold and since the OEM already tends to break, there is nothing to be lost trying an after market part.
