    Has anyone noticed that the prices that are shown in the Autokrafters catalog are way different that the prices that they actually charge when you try to order the same parts online. For instance I looked up a weatherstrip kit in the online catalog and it's priced at $397.95, but when I tried to place the order it came up as $447.95. Thats a $50 difference exactly. What gives? I really want to buy these parts, but I'm not happy with Autokrafters and there pricing inconsistencies.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Several Catalog companies hype up the prices at the end. From handling charges, core charges, sales tax, etc....anything they can come up with basically.

    I'm pretty sure they get it from the same place as AK does.

    I would think that if your ordering it online you can see where the price difference is..

    Are you looking at the current catalog? it comes up as $447.95, but the price has gone up....I was looking at some Mustang parts the other day, and they've all gone up also.

    Hummmm, if I goto the webpage, and use the pull down list, that's the current price. I'd bet the download is old.

    i ordered all my stripping from them a couple months ago, came quick and worked great except for the the hood/cowl rubber didnt line up so it sits in my closet. plus the prices worked out a bit better than AK's
