parts.com changed the prices on 2 parts, and increased my final bill without my permission and changed the quantity of one of the parts the wiper blades.
They claim there's a new pn, but when I look that pn up on EPC it says it doesn't exist for any model.
We'll see how the rest of this deal goes.
On another note, I picked up some nice material to put on the door kick panels,
where the crappy cloth is now.
That the worst looking part of my interior right now, it's coming off.
I was looking for the perforated leather, but it's hard to find and expensive. I got some nice light grey vinyl that will hold up well, my foot tends to hit there when entering and exiting the car.
I'll post pics when it's done, but need to change a speaker grill too, so I'll wait for that to come in and do both at the same time.

Dammit, the passenger side wiper, the wierd sideways curved one, they wrote and told me the pn changed (which I think is BS)
from A2038200145 R Wiper Blade to 2038201745 AND COST $27.03EA
vs. the like 12 bucks it was supposed to cost.
I replied and said fuggetaboutit!!!
But they sent me one anyway....basturds.
My 1st time ordering from parts.com.
We'll see how it goes. I didn't get a tracking #, instead of the # it just
says "drop ship". Great. Well, it will be interesting.
I don't know how an online parts site can sell OEM parts for all cars.
But all the other dealers except ft. lauderdale didn't renew their
Trademotion subscriptions, and the same parts total from them were gonna cost a lot more.
Update- EPC says 2038201745 is not even a valid pn, and A2038200145 is still valid.
Now they don't have a ph # on the site....dammit.
Cross my fingers.....

So far they haven't replied to my emails and I don't have a tracking # it just says "Drop Shipped" for the tracking #.
Well, like I said, see what happens. Too late now.
Hmm... just checked, they haven't charged my car yet either....
I have a resale license, maybe I can just set up a wholesale account at a dealer????

My hood insulation and trunk spoiler still haven't come in yet. Also got the touch up paint kit for a big chip I got on the I5 at 80. Let see if its worth it.
Dealer quote me for the amg rear bumper at over 1100 unpainted... is that the right price?

I ordered up a new radiator (I have a Valeo and want to switch it out), a fleece oil filter and a new fuel filter. All were ordered off of Autohaus (Thanks for mentioning this site in earlier threads C230 Sport Coup, they have great prices!). Once we get some decent weather around here, I plan to swap out radiators, and do a trans filter/flush. C230 Sport Coup, I've got a question for you in regards to the trans flush, I know you did a huge write up and I saved the .PDF file, but I have a question which I believe wasn't mentioned in your Trans Flush Post. I'll be sending you a PM.

That's like the perfect list for the A.D.D. driver.

I would go with the MB Trans Fluid. I'm not sure of any other make that would be comparable to MB's fluid, nor do I have the knowledge or facilities to do comparison tests. My dealer wants $19 a quart for the MB Trans Fluid. Autohaus I think is asking $14 per quart.

I got my order, but one part was missing, the plastic piece that holds the window switches on the drivers side.
They increased the price on it, then didnt' send it.
It's just a stupid plastic part, but with shipping it comes to about 90 bucks.
If they keep with their current way of not responding I'll request a credit for that amount from the CC company.

Spiderpig, spiderpig, friendly neighborhood spiderpig....
Dude, you jacked my thread!! Beat me to it!
Oh well, thats ok. I'll post pics when I get everything done.
Where'd you get the AMG style spoiler?
Yeh, I got the insulation with the metal part as shown...
I wonder which model that was used on?
Apparently not on the standard C Coupe...
including the 2006 someone had around here.
I suppose you don't really NEED it with that...
the standard one is only 35 bucks. But I think it looks cool.
Can't wait to install it.
