Good price on OEM Sport hood?

OnSale said:

I th8nl he meant he paid around $870 to buy the hood and an additional $150 to have it painted. But DirtRider, please correct me if I'm wrong and you paid $1,500 for your hood.

I do know that for a long time dealers were overcharging for the hoods because they were hard to come by and on backorder.

Thanks man... I'm loving the truck now with these new headlights. I just love driving at night, I get lost sometimes just staring at the cutoff line ofnthe projector and hids lolYea I'm super excited to get them painted. Can't wait.Yea when I get price quotes for parts there, they usually are 20%-30% more expensive then eBay/Amazon or other sites like Rockauto.

But this time they gave me my employee discount so it went from $1,099 to $822. Thrn to $870 after tax. I was shocked when the guy said the price, I was like holy crap that's cheap.

So when I picked my truck up today after it got the rack & pinion fixed under warranty, for ***** and giggles I asked the parts department how much a 2013+ OEM sport hood cost.

In the past every time I ask them for parts, the price is always 2x what I find the part for online. This dealer parts department is always super overpriced so I was going into this expecting a $1,500-$1,700 price quote.

Since I get employee discount (I work for the parent company that owns the dealer) the hood was $1,099 msrp and after my discount it was only $821. It comes to $870 after tax. It is on backorder but is expected to only take 1-2 weeks to be delivered. They also told me my rack and pinion was on backorder and was a 2-3 week wait and it arrived 4 days later.

So, is $870 total, out the door a good price for the hood? I'm guessing it is, as it's the cheapest I've found one yet. Closest was $880 + $260 shipping or $880 + $20 if I drove 100+ miles to pick it up.

Ironically I've been searching for one locally for 9 months and finally tonight I find one on craigslist for $1,100 painted black. If it was my trucks color, PR4 Flame Red, id spend the extra $$ and buy it to avoid painting the new one.

Anyways, if anyone in PA or NJ is looking for a sport hood, let me know. I can forward the guys info to you. He says it's 1 month old, painted black and it's $1,100.
