Thank you, but he has got so expensive prices. He wants 2500$ for a set. I can paint the car from this amount. So I will look a used not working part.  Possible to be a good price for US rebulider, but here we are working less money and our currency really weak. I read an average paint costs 10.000-15.000 USD prof. 20.000. 2500-3000$ prof paint in place and we do not use body cement etc...

I just wolud like to picture (maybe this is the good word) the rift between the 2 country.
