Just a bump... action is getting ready to close.

On the brighter side the more they steal the cheaper the parts will become, something else that has to do with a free market, its called "supply and demand". It's early and I don't know were this teaching of economics is coming from! Sorry, but I find this funny, I had the same feelings when I first saw it, but I'm over it now. BillSomeone good be a collector...someone with a KR could buy it as a spare....someone might try to flip it for more $$$.
I really don't understand why you think this auction would lead to an increase in the theft of KR hoods. The price and value of KR hoods has been well known for a loooong time. Good luck selling a stolen KR hood on ebay without getting caught....:nonono:
I can see it now:
Thief one: "OMG thief two, I just saw this posting on Ebay for something called a KR hood...we saw those expensive arse cars all the time...sitting parked outside and in dealer lots...who knew parts were expensive too?"
Thief two: "Holy cow!!!! Let's go steal those hoods now."
Thief one" "waiiiiiit a second....I bet if we steal the WHOLE car, we could sell more parts since it only takes us professionals less than a minute to steal a car...faster than popping the hood and removing it".
Thief two: "Dude, thank god for ebay!!!"
Riiiiiight.
Not trying to be an A$$... but are you serious? $6100 + shipping for a damaged/repaired hood that is missing the hood twist locks. I know the hoods are almost unobtainable but if you don't own a real KR I cant see why anyone with a GT500 would pay that much..... much less why the heck you didn't take the money and laugh all the way to the bank.
After that auction, I forsee KRs getting their hoods stolen when left in parking lots or at dealerships..... then ending up on ebay.
Also the auction list it as a 2007 KR which was never produced.
OP, I'd Be very careful about this auction, Not to long ago, someone obtained a KR hood and didn't even own a KR, Amy Of Team Shelby found out and then alot of shit sprewed around. Just becareful where you post these things.
Once you own title, she's SOL.
