holy cow. cliff notes.....21k for a hood???? :rofl:

Sure can.

Was the owner dumb enough to have a regular insurance policy on it?

full coverage

I meant regular or collector's

ooh, i didnt mean to be answering your question, i meant to be answering the original question......i dont know anything about this persons situation

...return parts back to manf?

What a story. Had me reading right to the last post. Wont be buying any KR's anytime soon lol

umm.... not trying to insult anybody... but have any of you heard of insurance.... ( i know other people metioned it)... who cares how much the parts cost.... insurance will fix it or total it...

hood is priced as 1/4 of the car? Doesn't say much about the car :lol:

And as far as the insurance goes I guess insurance DOES care how much a company wants to charge it for a damn hood! :lol:

you should read the post itself

Ehh, reading is only for smart people...

i will later.. .guessing theres something i missed...

Yeah, that was my point. Insurance company may see it as a Mustang with a $21,000 hood. I can understand that Shelby doesn't want to open the door for fakes and clones. Really, I do. Asking for pictures or parts back, OK, I can see that. But no way should the replacement stuff be as expensive as it is. That's just gouging.

honestly, this isn't a personal attack on you but why do people reply when they don't know what's going on?

Please see comment 12, then draw your own conclusion.

my KR would look like a regular GT after that. 5k and looking like a GT500 > 31k looking like a KR

well i just read it... if the car was insured for 80k+ there should be no problem... sounds to me like the guy had the wrong insurance policy on it... as far as the parts pricing... i have a really hard time believing 21k for a hood... not saying its false.... i just can comprehend that... and as far as wanting the parts back.... i dont really see a problem with as long as they kept their parts fairly priced.... (which it seems they dont)... saturn does the same thing with their parts because they dont want companies like keystone to pick them up and either remanufacture them or refurbish them.... they are trying to keep their original parts from being cloned and sold in the aftermarket... i still have a hard time believing most if not all of the prices... stripe kit just for the bumper is $500+ come it.... its vynil stripe i cant believe that... thats like 1000% mark up from what it should be.... case being... if the guy had the right insurance for his 80K rustang... their shouldnt be a problem... i didnt read all the posts (dont have time for it, and dont really care that much) but it didnt say what coverage or company he had... those are key elements to the story....

i'm pretty sure you mean you can't comprehend it. and dude, for the sake of us all, stop using ellipses for any and all punctuation :lol:

ahah yea meant "cant" forgot the T..... i use parenthesis for side thoughts becuase its separates it from the original thought... plus... this isn't English class i really don't give a ****...

but it makes your posts impossible to read
:horse:

no one said **** about your parentheses :moon:

i dont understand how it makes it hard to read.... but its a habit... o well

how much are the 5th gens hoods? :lol:

he does have background in the subject matter though. i mean working at a body shop for a living and dealing with this **** every day must have some merit? :shrug: he is a little slow though :lol:

he means this......****.....is.....annoying.....:-P

dick! haha
