Can anyone tell me why the price for the PA 14 kit is 150. and almost all the others are 110.. It looks like the most simple kit out of all of them... Check out the slayer propel kit compared to the PA kit and tell me how they are not just taking advantage.... I want to order a kit, and probably still will, but this is aggravating.
I'll take a stab at answering you question since I was the one that got that process started. If you notice the difference between the 2 kits (PA12 and PA14), there is probably a little more surface area covered in the PA14 kit. They patterned if off the custom templates I made for them. I wanted the front area to be more of a single piece versus all the multiple cut up sections.
From a manufacturing standpoint, it's more cost effective for them to make the smaller pieces as they can fit more pieces onto a standard 39 X77 sheet of their material. The only section missing from the PA14 kit versus my complete setup is the piece for the rear cargo area. They did include the rear deck hatch cover.
The front hatch cover on the PA14 covers the whole lid versus being 2 pieces. Keep in mind that the PA14 kit is based on applying it over the black non-slip foot pads. There is enough surface area for the material to adhere to. Those black pads sit in a recessed area on the floor. The PA12 kit supplies the floor pad shaped pieces as part of the kit.
I think the kit is well worth the cost, but wish they would offer other colors. I indicated that the Camel color I used would work fine for the current three PA14 colors.
Good luck with your decision.
