For a 2001-10, last week I tried to buy the last 2 lower center cowls. They are currently on BO with no ETA. The lower center cowl is the silver cowl between the fog lamps.

The same is true for visors from 2006-07. The visor is the black plastic between the dash cluster and the windscreen. In that case, I was able to buy the last 2. They too are on BO with no ETA.

Last is the upper shelter. The upper shelter is the black plastic that the front pockets sit in. The part number is for 2006-10s. BO with no ETA. My guess is that these parts are forever gone.

To me BO with no ETA often means that a new mold needs made to continue making the part. The person making that dicision knows the cost of a new mold (several 100,000 dollars) and has to caclulate out if making a new mold can be profitable.

Just by chance, does anyone have a NOS upper shelter, or a NOS lower center cowl that they want to sell ???
