They're like $2 each at the dealer, can't you get them there? Or if the dealer is far away have them mail them to you for an extra $1? The new updated ones are green.

I just paid $16 for both of the new update green ones at the dealer about a month ago. Can change them both in just a few minutes

ok thanks for info. i will be looking for green ones to replace my yellow ones. i thought i read a thread about the color issue, thats why i mentioned it. as for the dealers in my area, there are a few small ones within 50 mi but they are mostly used dealers, and dont have a parts department. there are some bigger ones that are on the other end of my state or deep into the next state over. however, i just looked all them up online and started calling around, about half of them closed down recently. the ones still running have parts dept. but they are closed on weekends. ill have to wait till monday to contact them, thats why i was hoping to find online site.(no offense to dealers, i wish there was one right near me!) anyway i found throttle body seal and intake manifold gaskets online at partsgeek.com , so now i need tuning valve seals. im going to take my intake manifold off and paint it with high heat engine paint (bright shiny silver) and then paint the word JAGUAR in black over the silver (so it will stand out nicely) and then clear coat it. if all goes well it'll look awesome. theres nothing wrong with intake right now, but it is like a dull alloy look thats turning greyish white and it disgusts me. -stevis05
