    It doesnt show discounted on the main product page, but after you add it to the cart (this is the “non-clearance sale” one)…

    Thank you. I wonder what the warehouse clearout sale is for. Newer model, perhaps?

    This might sound funny, but over time, the bottom cover on mine is fitting well without help. Originally it was not seated correctly, but now ….:notsure:

    The bottom cover on mine has always had a very snug fit. The top cover fit a little loose from the start, and got looser over time since my thumb always lands there when I grab it to get in. The dab of tacky dum-dum underneath solved that problem. :thumbsup:

    got the infamous grab handle. fast shipping aswell installed in <20 minutes.

    followed tips of buying autozone speed nut and bending the top clip to fit.
    everything is an exact match except the gap by the dash now + rough edges on the screw covers.

    I had the gap, too. I put a spacer behind the boss in the pillar cover and it looks pretty good now. It really is a great idea by the supplier, but it is really poor execution in so many ways.

    You don't have the tangs on the bottom in the slots.

    Yep. You gotta angle the pillar trim outboard past the door seal to get those tangs to go where they need to.

    I rolled the dice and ordered some bowl light in February. I get the correct color but one of the harnesses was wrong. I reached out but didn’t hear back which probably won’t surprise anyone here. @playdixie was nice enough to help me out. Fast forward five month and I get an email last week saying that my replacement harness has shipped. :eek::rofl:
    So long story short, if anyone needs a harness for the rear, let me know. I’m happy to pass it on. :cheers:

    Oh geez, the folding mirror is in stock now.

    I rolled the dice with the grab handle, and would love folding mirrors, but it's too much $$ and has lots of moving parts that have to sit outside and work for years.

    And considering 6,000+ mostly negative posts ... it's a non-negotiable NOPE.

    I got a kit awhile back, but have not started on it yet…Been too hot. I did have some old aftermarket mirrors and found out they are not compatible..
