[s-cars] Belly Pan Blues

[David Priebe]

Funny missing belly pan hardware should come up today. Yesterday I went by
the dealer to buy some missing pieces I had. They had most of the parts in
stock (surprising me!), except for the rubber capture washers. The fasteners
from the dealer were about a $1 each. I sourced the rubber washers from
Lowes for $.92 in a pack of two. The main reason I went to the dealer for
any of this was to check on a price for a central locking control unit
(under rear seat next to the battery), which was listed for $537! Anyone
have an extra they want to sell for less?
