im lookin to pull the crossbars off my roof rack, but idk where the caps are that we got when we got the car. i was wondering how much theyd be at the dealership, or if theres somewhere else i could find them
 
I was quoted $150ish I believe? The guy gets a wide eyed look on his face and says, "wow, they must've gone up since I looked last time." I would recomend checking ebay periodically and checking around on here. I still have my luggage rack for the very reason that I'm not paying that much money for 4 pieces of plastic.

yea i figured theyd be around that much from the stealership...im not real fond of ebay, considering i just read the 29 page thread about the scammer that ****** lasermp5 outta his exhaust (as of now), but id like to lose the WHOLE roof rack, but i dont wanna rip my ceiling out, so taking the crossbars off is my next best bet...just wanna cut down on wind resistance
 
don't rule out ebay, i got my caps off them for $27 shipped. but if you really want to avoid ebay, you could always leave notes on other p5s you see in parkinglots, asking them if they still have their caps and want to sell.
 
i suggest positing in the wtb section for some caps..its WAY expensive at the stealership and they do pop up occasionnally for as cheap as maybe $30.
 
just a heads up its 10 bucks plus shipping i think just make sure first. thats still around 23 bucks so its still a great deal.

good idea...just gotta find one in the armpit of nowhere heh. im gonna try to go to the next greensboro meet, so maybe i can get lucky and someone there has some theyd be willin to sell..plus id like to get to know some ppl that have p5s
 
yea because someone posted the ebay listing i bid on it any now someone else is bidding on it and by the time you know it itll be like 50 bucks or something cause people on ebay are stupid
 
I know some1 on here's bidding on it already (no, not my, I don't have racks :D)
