It's expensive, but it's a fair price. This piece isn't "mass produced".. it's made for a 4-5 year old car that is now discontinued due to poor sales. Plus, it's a part that very few people need. Most roll without a front plate, or if they have a front plate they don't use the clear cover.

People need to realize that one of the benefits of buying a T/A is that not many people have them. On the flip side, that means you pay more for parts.

Buying a clear front cover was one of the cheapest things I ever did for my T/A - and I haven't even got around to doing the bird light up yet - figured I'd get the cover before they don't carry them any more like so many other T/A items.

The cost reflects the up front engineering costs - getting a mold made, etc. couple this with the cost of mfg. each cover, and the fact they probably only sell MAYBE 50 max of these per year - drives the cost to the consumer up - if they were selling/making these in batches of thousands upon thousands per year - the cost would come down. Then you also have the fact that there is really only (1) vendor out there for these - they can pretty much charge what they like as there is no competition - if you want one - you'll pay their asking price. Same story as everything else out there in the world for sale.

The vette covers are probably cheaper due to the fact that they are still making the vette so there is more demand and they can recoup their up front costs by selling higher quantities.

So basically - if you want one - you're gonna pay the $56 - if that's too high, well then, I guess you ain't gettin' one.

I would kinda like to have a Ferrari instead of a T/A - but no way would I pay what they want - so I don't have one

Well, I guess we're all assuming that the reason you would want a clear cover is either to keep the clean front lines if you must run a front plate - or to do the light up bird mod.

First reason really isn't a mod - 2nd definitely is

is for the first reason ONLY to just keep the front lines......

Go to www.afterthoughtauto.com
Really good products. I have purchased the clear cover and love it. Fits just like the factory one.

i went to the site but they dont have any red painted ones? Does anyone have one painted red that they dont need?

If you want one that is already painted red, then you'll have to try your luck on ebay, or scour the junkyards. Most places that sell them new, sell them primered and you paint it yourself.
You could buy the clear one, and then just rattle can it yourself, on the inside.

Why would you post this here?
A mod needs to move this to the headlight gear thread. You've got a stripped gear. Look up the thread, it's a sticky in one of the sections.
