I have been recommended 3 places to buy parts from...tell me if you have any experience with either, or maybe you have a better place.

Wittmeier Ford/Lincoln/Mercury
http://www.partscheap.com/escapeaccessories06.htm

Lombard Ford
http://www.ford-parts-direct.com/cat...TOKEN=64959307

Grand Prairie Ford
http://www.discountfordparts.com/ME-CBHF.aspx


As far as I can tell Grand Prairie Ford consistenly has the lowest prices, but their shipping/handling charges are on the high side.

Lombard Ford seems to have decent pricing and reasonable shipping/handling charges.

Wittmeier Ford/Lincoln/Mercury seems to have lower prices than Lombard Ford (not as low as Grand Prairie) and much lower shipping than Grand Prairie and Lombard Ford.

I am just about to make a fairly large purchase so I just want to make sure I do all my homework beforehand... Thanks.

Not sure what exactly you are buying, but I've placed several orders with http://www.autoanything.com/ for FEH accessories and have been very impressed with price and delivery so far. You can get $10/order off, and free shipping. The accessories aren't OEM but I'm very pleased with Husky floor mats, Weathertech wind deflectors for the front windows, and a Rubbertite cargo liner.

I am looking at the OEM step bar, hood deflector, roofrack cross bars and possibly the Homelink/rearview mirror (>$800 worth of stuff).

I'm liking those Husky mudflaps at the website you listed. How do I get the $10 off and free shipping?

These folks seem to have good prices. Great customer service too.

Free shipping was automatic on the items I ordered, but apparently isn't on heavy or oversized orders.

Use "EXCLUSIVE10" as a coupon code at checkout to get $10 off per order. There's another code for 10% off over $75 that might save you more on a big order, but I don't have the code anymore. However, I remember it being sent immediately after I placed my first order with them.
