he's probaly talking about the $200 piece that either gets ripped off or torn off every time you pull to forward across a parking block and then reverse back off of it. Mine fell off and I know of 2 other 430's losing theirs as well.

...and then you have to paint it to match you bumper, which drives the cost up some more. Lots of people have lost theirs.

Mine hasn't fallen off yet because it appears at some point maybe when I took it for service or something, someone secured it with nylon ties so it's very difficult for it to come off. If you still have yours you should secure it now before it's too late!
