  14. guesss what buying the parts at whole sale price is not worth ... becuase WHEN you buy parts from els where they rip you off with the labor... you cant tell them you gonna pay em by hourly .. then they will take extra hour to fix then the normal hour it would take and they tell you flat there they rip you offf .. seem like you didnt seen ny brooklyn tec lol
