It may be worth trying Candy Canvas for seat covers. I reckon they may send you a material sample if you ask:

As far as the rhetorical question about mark up - it's normal, applies to many, many items we buy, and they don't have to use that mark up - they only do that so they can stay in business and feed their families, and provide for the future.

There is an adjective we use to describe that activity - capitalism. Generally speaking the world seems to think capitalism is better than communism, socialism, despot-ism, anarchy, mob rule & terrorism.

Hi H20

The cruiser spare will not fit a Patrol as it has locating tabs on the central hole that will not allow it to go over a patrol hub. However, the Patrol rim will fit on virtually and vehicle/trailer that has the same bolt hole spacing (rim offset aside). Or you can file down the hub tabs on the cruiser rim and it to will then fit almost any 6 stud hub.

Have a go at fitting the snorkel your self as they are easy. You will save 50 bucks and then you can charge your mates 50 bucks each to fit theirs. That reduces the end price of yours.
They are easy to fit. Its just drilling that first hole in the nice paint that takes some Kahoonas but once the first one is in the rest get easier. Take your time and you will have no dramas.
The template says to drill holes at a certain size but you if you be carefull you can actually drill them alot smaller for a better fit. They say to drill large holes so you can move the snorkel around to align it and then use large washers to secure it in place but if you take your time and precisely mark and drill the holes smaller, you will have the same job but with smaller size holes in your guard. Just my opinion and makes you feel like you have done a better job than the factory.
Best of luck

I got my snorkel supplied and fitted by the Nissan dealer for $300 from memory, 03 3.0TD auto. I told them I wouldn't buy ther car unless they did the snorkel, barrier and tint at a reasonable price, they were happy to oblige.
