Well just to confirm they are still available. I just ordered one as of 2pm est 10/22/07. He was about to tell me how many were left, but then we got off subject and started to chit chat.
BTW the prices have gone up considerably since I bought my first one 5 years ago.
The bumper cover list price is 290 dollars the bumper is 217 dollars. I think that's an increase of over 175 dollars. Even the parts guy was surprised that it went up THAT high. He said normally they go up with time but not that much. He said either they are just going up abnormally for no reason, or they have acutally started production on a few of them in small batches which would account for the higher prices on the new ones (because they were made in such a smaller quanity than the OG bumper covers). I told him that I thought that they didn't redo old parts, but he said he's seen it happen, and one of the signs is when the price goes way up.
In any event, after 430 dollars, I now again have the CS power.

Only ordered the cover so far ... hopefully will get the rest of the CS stuff by the end of the summer but after seeing how badly Sal's RC crumpled after his low speed accident I'm probably not going to get the aluminum bumper bar - rather run something custom fabbed out of steel to get a bit of the weight savings while protecting the car. :shrug:
