Nice work looks good and feels good on the wallet knowing you arent robbed by the dealer who send these easy fixtures to the specialists.

MeanMachine,
I've basically given up on ALL dealerships in Kuwait. Behbehani's is ridiculous and I need not tell you more about that since you're a Porsche owner! Their spare parts prices, workshop for body/paint, and their garage for service/maintenance all have nothing on independent garages. I'd much rather spend my money at a place owned by someone I consider a friend and keep my business there.

That being said, the 80KD for a piece of plastic and some stitches at I7saan's is still a lot of money when you break it down to his real cost. But given all your realistic alternative choices, it does come out like the best deal out there IMHO.
I can only imagine that the dealer would've charged me no less than 300KD for LESS work (i.e. pressing, not stitching). Might have to make a day out of it and go mess with them to test this theory.

daytrader:
Thanks a lot, and I'm glad that you think so.
