Wanted to replace the poly covers, but this is unbelievable!!!

The bottom line is they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Why $510 and not something else? Yeah, I think they are laughing to the bank. I am unfamiliar with them but dislike them already. $510 for this is BS unless this includes a dealer coming over to install it. Then it might be OK.
