UR isn't even close to $900.  Call Dave at Roseville.

In the grand scheme of things, not many E-bodies were produced.  That means parts are going to be more expensive.  New Challenger bumpers run around $400.  Mustang bumpers are around $75.

Let's not forget that after all that money they don't really fit all that well, but $900 seems a little high.

If you bought one without a core plus shipping you would be at 900.00.

Dave, are you coming to Carlisle, as I need a black pad for my '71 Challenger, with A/C, 1 speaker. I could bring my old pad and make the trade. Let me know. My e-mail is: bobbeat@videotron.ca

Thanks

Robert

Where are you looking at $900 pads?  That's outrageous. Call Dave at Roseville, you'll get a good pad at a good price. IGot mine there and it looks good and fit right in with no problems at all.
