shouldn’t be a problem with lights. Received a email on Friday from dealer that I purchased wheel protectors from and their telling me that UPS delivery has gone from $35 to $422 for 3 day shipping! Is anyone aware of this shipping hike? Ordered from Jaguar Land Rover of Sacramento. Anyone have advice on another place to purchase?

Very happy with the finished product, they did a fabulous job with a matching roof.

@ebarry Is it possible to share the paint code they used - it looks original... Like it

Numerous clear coat applications applied.

LR color is Narvik Black. Not sure on paint code, but will follow up with body shop.

It makes perfect sense they used a LR color - I don't know why I was thinking something different. I guess I need to add this to my list of improvements....

Could not locate any locally, they all claimed they were on back order.
Land Rover Sacromento had them in stock for $682.00, but with shipping & tax total was $800.00, around same pricing as other dealers @ $780.00.
I will be installing tomorrow eve. (Chepachet, R.I).

I enjoy having a defender wish list.
