Great, they also have the Cargo security cover for me, still waiting for a picture of that. There asking €250 for it, dunno what the condition is on that.

Also waiting for price on the Accent panels, i'll ask for more when i get this first deal done.

Didn't really get a clear answer on the price so far.. I made a bid for €250 for both, hope they will take it.

I have seen this picture before and at that time it was for fiber glass diffusers on eBay. Am I wrong?

Pic's I saw of the fibreglass replicas didn't have drain holes............these ones do. The packaging with hardware looks identical to what I received when I purchased my MOPAR ones.

An incredible deal would be to cut 4 pieces of hardwood to the correct dimensions, seal them, prime them, paint them black and screw them to the existing panels with stainless screws and large washers.
WHO'S TO KNOW ??????

You know funy you should say that. There was a vendor on E-bay a while back who was selling just the "ribs" and hardware to attach them.

I also think that they are the fiber glass knock-offs, because they are smooth. I bought one of the 1st sets available, but returned them. They didn't fit to my satisfaction. The ones I received did not have weep holes, but later versions had them after I pointed that out. Others have used them and been happy. Maybe they improved. The OEM's are plastic and appear to flex a bit to fit. The fiberglass are very stiff.

They are just for show.

You could whittle them out of some 2 x 4's, paint them and screw them to the existing trim panel and nobody would be the wiser.

Question Re: Rear Accent Panel - Need Opinions

apparently the diffusers where sold before i even got a price on them

Now they claim to still have the Cargo security cover.. but there asking €250 ($326) for it. Its a secondhand item.

I know its a rare part, but still i think the price is pretty high.

What do you guys think?

Don't think i will make any deal with the company i'm mailing with.
Question about the status of the article's are avoided.

Found several articles on them not being very honest.
All costumer advice is negative.

Also they found some stolen goods on there property:
85 engine's
34 Parts.
36 cars (among that a Vanquish and a 550 Maranello)

Hope the next one will be more trustworthy.
At least i learned again, Was seems to be to good to be true, most-likely is.

+1 They look identical to the ones I purchased a few years ago.
Add these cosmetic pieces and your Crossfire will go much faster......
