Default front facia

can someone explain to me why the fox body lx front facia is twice as expensive as the gt facia? i have looked at several sites and they are all the same. the gt is $170ish and the lx is $350 plus or minus.

lx one is probably just less in supply due to lower demand or something

About where are you in Tennessee? I've got the front and rear bumper covers, along with all the trim and the front two extensions if you're interested. I've been wanting to take a road trip in my new truck.

tohoopty is right. Since the LX ones say Mustang they have to be licensed by Ford and that costs money hence the higher price passed on to the buyer.
