Default most overpriced Ford part

I just installed the Ford molded rear splash guards on my V6. Had to because my non-stock tires were throwing up all kinds of road crud. They cost $66 at the dealer. I was really suprised when the part came in. Honestly, the splash guards look like they cost about 50 cents to make. They look like something you'd find at the dollar store. They fit well and look ok if you don't get too close to them. But $66???? Come on, Ford!

thats pretty bad but I have to say mine tops that. I paid 50 bucks and change for the little electronic connector that connects to the throttle body that well lets you have control over the throttle body. 50 bucks for an electrical connection!!!!! I was like you guys are a rip off but its one of those things you need so I just swallowed it.
