My new hood from BAS arrived today. DHL dropped it off without a word. My son found it sitting by the doorstep. No concerns about that, I'm happy that it arrived. However, what I'm not necessarily pleased about is finding an additional 3% charge on my credit card for "Foreign Transaction Fee". I never gave it a thought....sadly, I have other cards that do NOT charge a FTF on my purchases. It's just been so long since I've purchased direct that it never even crossed my mind.


All in all, with the fantastic savings offered under the "Crossfire Forum Group Buy", I still can't be very upset. Total cost thus far $617.06.


Now comes the major decision concerning installation. I can drive to Alabama, and help ala_xfire do the install...thus learning something more about my car and her hood. Or, I can search out somebody in the Dayton, OH area that will do the job well, and not charge me an arm and a leg. It's times like these that I wish our country wasn't so darned big.


Decisions decisions. Stay tuned.
