SCP has some good stuff, but they definitely charge a premium for their reproduction parts. Their P80 heater cores are pretty good though!
If you had any idea what it costs to reproduce a part then you would understand why their prices are what they are. I'm happy someone is willing to put up so much capital to reproduce these parts. A small single cavity injection mold can run $10,000+. How many parts do you have to sell to recover that?
Do we not all have that?For that exact reason, I'm starting to stock up on these reproduced parts that may not be available in five or ten years.. Because if you don't have a room filled with Volvo parts you don't intend to use immediately, you're doing it wrong

Some of the prices are wack, case in point
VOLVO 240 instrument cluster bezel - SCP $19.95 reduced from $28!
VOLVO 240 instrument cluster bezel - IPD $5.95
Sometimes they use a wacky number just as a place holder. I was on the phone with them one time and asked why the price on their shocks for a 240 was almost $400. They told me it's just a place holder and they charge only $88 for a set of four shocks at that time. They told me they correct the price when you do checkout. I thought it was weird but I was only charged $88 for the shocks. They have always been pleasant to deal with.
