Plus shipping ughhh. Now I've gotta go leafing through jc whitney and fend off the "accessory" isle at pep boys in search of the more realisticaly priced $5 coin holder as seen in any other car on the market. It seems like I've been doing this a lot lately. Audi/clairparts could have easily had my $10 by pricing things reasonalby. My favorite is the $395 trunk cargo net. Another classic that could really be useful that I will have to sorce elswhere.

Blame the weak dollar. I bought mine from Clair, for $14 not all that long ago.
