Yesterday while mounting a Vallentine1 in the new ride there was a small mishap. The suction cups didn't hold very long (they do now) and the unit cam crashing down to create two dings in the sifter gate bezel (shifter face plate?). If the dealer won't replace it I need a new one because it's just too new of a car to have something like that staring at me every day.

The parts counter at the dealer (I called a different one) wants $78.37+tax for one. Of course I think that's absurd.

When I owned my Talon there was a dealership in Florida that gave nice deals on fatory parts. That's what I'm looking for.

The problem is that they don't just sell the shifter plate. You have to buy the Console Escutcheon to get it, I have it priced at 68.64 + 4.95 dollars shipping.....so $73.59. Sowwie. 02+ TL right?

Well, it's an 03' Type-S. Not sure if that'll make a difference in price...

no its the same thing (pricing) for 00-03 (5 speed), sorry about the ding, hope it works out. But I rather you dmg that and lose 70 and not dmg the V1 and lost 400. :p

Good point. Tim at autocarparts.com is looking for one.
