[Chrysler300] Re[2]: [Chrysler300] Re: [Chrysler300] ‘58 dash pad replacement question -

["'Claudio Grisolia [PERSONAL]' grisolia11@xxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just purchased an F dash from Sweden and the communication was great and 
easy.
J Dash was not as easy to communicate with and once I checked the 
pricing it was actually cheaper.
How do you figure?????
