Just give them the part number. If they refuse, kick them and go to another dealer.

G is still current.

Post by: alackofspeed on January 31, 2014, 06:07:17 pm: Anyone else find it amusing that the D is more expensive, yet is 90% the same part, with the different components appearing cheaper to produce?

Just give him the rev G full part number and get him to order that. Don't give your reg.
