Went to mitsu dealership today to buy the plastic cover under the front bumper that sits under the car at the front. Was told it was $148!! Then they looked at the same one for one year later and the price was $17. Do mitsu have a random price generator they use for this stuff? Where does that price differnce come from??

Same as $400 for a TH electric arial... but $120ish (i think from memory) for a TL one which fits perfectly :P

I think they pull them from you know where...

Isn't there a 5 year rule where parts for cars less than 5 years old have to be available and at reasonable cost?

If its the part I am thinking of, I paid $22 for mine. Panel Under Cover Frt MR922448 Dont tell them the year, just the part number.

Parts need to be available for 10 years after production ends.

I believe you are talking about the splash guard zedovski. Plastic cover that stops rock, water and the likes from flicking up into your engine bay and is held on by a bazillion screws and just wears away at the ground as the magnas are so low stock?!?!?!?

When I stacked my KS Verada, it was going to be $470 for a rad supt, and $485 for a KS Verada grill... and thats trade price...

Yet we done a KW GTVi front end at work revently, and a rad supt for that was only $150 odd lol...
