The local dealer wants $63

Seems a little steep.

projectRDM · 05-23-2006, 11:20 AM

$24, no more than that.

nacstate · 05-23-2006, 11:22 AM

63 is way too high.

I think I picked up both for like 35 at the dealer and even I thought that was high

OdessaS13 · 05-23-2006, 11:52 AM

yup 60 is the dealer price and thats what i paid. It was a "if i want to get my car out of the shop today or do i want to wait another 3 days" type of situation. major wallet rapage

call phase2 motortrend, superior nissan of puente hills, or performance nissan in duarte. they have in stock for like $25 bucks or something.

I dont trust anything thats non dealership most of the time. I went and spent the extra money at the dealership. But then again NissanPacific gets a 20% discount at a few west coast dealerships. Pretty much the guy i deal with tells me what to buy from shucks and what not to, quality wise.

you can go way cheaper, got mine from autozone, for 32bucks

NAPA, $32.99, that is the way I went personally.
