Default WTF? $140?

Larry H Miller, my ford dealer wants to charge me $140 to paint 2 side louvers before taxes? Not for louvers and paint, just paint. Am I getting robbed, or is that a good deal?

you could get them painted cheaper, but they won't be exact color nor quaity as factory paint, I would stick with the 140 price.

So there would be labor on top of the 140? Then its a bit high I think.

$140 before tax? Way too much. Find a reputable body shop. They should be able to paint it out the door for a lot less. Probably around $100.

No labor, they are Cervini's so they use the 3M Sticky tape. I dont even know if I can trust the 3m? My luck they will fly off when im on the freeway?

Larry's treating you very well. Take the "deal"
[sm=wtf.gif]It really makes me "laugh",...... a "fill-up" for an F-150 is $50, dinner for 2 with drinks and tip @ like the OUTBACK, is $90,....... but yet, ppl ....bitch about $140 ? Take it, and get the job done.
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH !
04stangman,.... I promise YOU,.... 'ol LARRY, won't retire from your $140 outlay,... not even if he charged 5,000 ppl for the same job.
Be glad it wasn't $299, that's like "bare minimum" for just "walkin' in", at any DEALERSHIP.

I understand you are whining, crying and shi**ing your pants,.... over $140.
Grow up, I don't need to work where you do, to undertsand the value of money, and what it costs a businesss to make a profit.
U R outta line here, a buck forty, is reasonably cheap, and well with inline.
