Question Why does this panel cost $400?

Number 17 (77750-S0K-A10ZA) : PANEL, INSTRUMENT DRIVER (LOWER) :



It's the small panel that's under the steering wheel.

Not that I need it but damn, $400 seems like a lot. The glove box only costs $100. I'm wondering what makes it cost that much?

o, whoops

well mainly because it is new, and its a oem part, vs aftermarket parts, like brake pads. acura/honda lets say charges 100 for a set for the fronts, vs a store like napa, and u guys in usa, autozone, costs like 50?

cost price for the dealer is prob close to nothing vs the list price of what us consumer have to pay..i bet companies like bmw and mercedes, their parts are prob way above cost price..

are you talking about the panel that your knees touch if you move to close to the steering wheel, think the same panel that the cabin temp sensor is? or the bottom half that covers the steering column?
actually either way that is a HUGE rip off! it better SandF for that price!!
