Everyone Assumes That Because Im Selling Above Gmpartsdirect Pricing Im Ripping Them... And It Pisses Me Off Because They Dont Realize How It Works...

But To Be Honest Msrp (list) Is The Same In All Regions In The Us

So My List I Quote To A Customer Will Be The Same List In Texas, Idaho, Kansas.... Anywhere

(I've returned parts before without a problem, as long as it's not an electrical or special order part)

Yeah, I already installed the part and it fixed the problem so that took some of the sting out of it
