I honestly can't imagine there would be anybody, anywhere that would ever buy a red one.

There's a red one out there? You're right, red would clash with anything Maverick.

Thanks for the Amazon link. Now I see where the red one resides and I have to agree with another poster as to why anyone would opt for that color.

You could always buy the red one and paint it orange to match the XLT , clear coat with satin clear - lol

This is why I love this forum. I hadn't consider the hack of painting it! I'm sure others will benefit from your idea.

I know I complained about the cost, but this is definitely going on my birthday wish list as being affordable for someone to gift this. I also wear a size XL in shirts if anyone is interested. LOL.

Even if you scratch it up, cheap plastic like that tends not to hold paint well, but it's worth a shot if the stock colour isn't to peoples liking.

You are correct about the paint. Probably why some paint manufacturer came up with a formula that is supposed to adhere better to plastic. We'll have to wait and see on a real world application. The black is fine for my purposes (Lariat) and if I were interested in the orange color, I'd still get the black color to paint over.
Edited: I'd use a primer over the original black before going to the orange. Just good sense in any paint mod application.

What do you think the design, engineering and fabrication costs are on something like this? $30 isn't much money, so how much profit you think they are making on it as bandits?

Here it is installed.

Very true. Thanks for the reminder.

Heck I'm just getting used to the new "club compartment"...not sure I'm ready for another mod yet...

Where did I use any of the words you accused me of using?

Or are you doing that internet arguing thing where you deflect from an honest question and then argue a completely different point the the person you are directing your accusations towards never said anything like that?

Cause we all seen that. It went out some time in 2011. Just an FYI.

Except on teenager boards.

You’re justifying a $30 piece of plastic for all the time in “engineering, fabrication, etc.”. Once that piece is ‘engineered’, it’s just a matter of repeating the ‘fabrication’ with minimal costs and labor. So yeah, it’s overpriced. There’s no need for insults.
Stop posting. Move on.
