Well, i just order from Sewell and noticed some items went up and some items went down so they may have adjusted prices for demand... Not good , not bad.. I have two things that went down by a few bucks after my order and one thing went up $5, all in all i broke even so no loss..

You guys can complain but the bottom line is that prices change and they have to make money and they are STILL cheaper than your local dealer or anyone else for that matter.
I bet NO ONE would complain if the F-sport intake went on sale for $199 or the shift **** for $49.... it goes the other way too.

I really can't believe people are complaining about prices going up when you drive a almost 40k car 20 dollars shouldn't be something you complain about. Prices always go up, Cost of goods is constantly raised so businesses have to raise theirs. If you don't like it drive a stock car!

All I know is that aftermarket parts are a rip. My dad used to be in retail and one of his buddies works at Lexus corporate. He said the markup is something like 300% on these parts.....which is a little ridiculous, regardless of how expensive our cars are.

I have to LOL at dealerships not making much off of their parts and etc. Have you seen how big some of these large dealerships are? Some of the owners of local dealerships own half of their towns. There making good money off cars, parts, service etc.

I'm not saying they're not making money, that's the point of running a business. I'm talking about profit percentages. I work in parts at a Toyota dealership, I know what markups are like. I also know how much Sewell discounts their prices, that's a pretty big drop in profit, but they do it so they can sell more product and make it up in volume.

So for that reason I'm shopping elsewhere. I wish sewell would just put some stamps on it and I get the item in 2 weeks rather then 5 days.
O well.
