(I think I bought mine from thenismoshop.com for a little bit cheaper
The center back up lamp assembly w/ emblem, is no longer available to be bought new anymore.
Or, at least, here is my story:
About 2 months ago I had been planning long ago to replace my faded ones, and found out they were discontinued quite recently and that all the stock had pretty much vanished.
Every search, with every keyword/Part No., in google, in Craigslist Facebook and dealership, etc.
I read a comment review saying, "you guys are the only ones who've got this in stock" and it was posted that same day i was looking to buy.
it was a sign
Many websites with "stock" would Refund my money days after placing an order.
I even emailed an eBay seller because he wanted too much! I offered $500 for just the center piece, no emblem.
he said no he can't budge.
Kept searching, and thought about other ways to have a fresh crispy 3 piece.
My google searches started leading me back to the same guy on ebay.
after debating and deliberating with myself, i had the support of my family, lol jk,
I caved in and bought if for an almost astonishing price, I'm ashamed to say, and I am still trying to justify it to people who don't give a crap lol.
There was only one, New, on eBay, you've probably seen the listing, because this thread was posted 4 days after I took it.
I think I bought the "last one".
I'm scared of it.
*kinda don't mean to be stealth bragging, the troll-haters are very intimidating. thanks for reading
