Default Ebay Cowl

Need a little advice on a new cowl and was wondering if dealer prices are better. Item #260680011707 to my house the cost is 186.25. I'm not at
all familiar with Ford parts as my 05 Lariat is the first Ford I've owned and
a dealer is 14 miles from the house. These caught my eye because they
come with the hoses and push pins. Like I said not familiar with Ford but I'm no stranger to GM parts and know that it's all the little things that drive a parts price up. Ya'll know any help is appreciated.

it seems a little pricey compared to the other ones on ebay, yours have the hoses and pins but they don't justify the higher price, unless you need those extra items I would go for a cheaper one .

if this helps... i painted my faded cowl with krylon flat black spray can from the autoparts and it came back to life

Seems a bit much to me also. I don't need the hose but the pins are gone as well as the rubber pieces on the ends. I just can't see paying right at
200 bucks(might as well be) for it. I'm still going to keep checking. I've
only had the truck for a month and the one guy that had it before me must thought that a bottle of ArmorAll was something that kept the door
proped open. Interior is spic&span but he didn't know dick,or didn't care
about the outside.
