Talking MOPAR Half Door Kit Available Soon

Jeep Forum.com had a Q & A with Jeep engineers the other day, and I posted the following question:

"4 Wheel Drive and Sport Utility magazine claimed the following on their blog back in April:
"Also available soon will be complete front and rear half door kits that come complete and ready to paint. You’ll no longer have to go through the dealer’s part’s screen trying to figure out every little piece needed to put together half doors for your JK."
Is this true and if so when can we expect them, and at appoximately what price?"

Response:

The 1/2 door kits are still in development. They will be available by the new year. The kits will be 2 front doors in a box, and all of the components. price will be just under a grand for a pair of doors. Dealers may discount this price. You will have to paint the doors, but they will be primed. We will also have kits for the upper soft windows, and for the rear doors. We have been delayed getting product out for the new ram truck.

Question

This sounds "too good to be true"...

Are they talking about factory-type half doors?

Yes. This is from Mopar. There have been several threads on this topic already. Check out this article:

Much cheaper than Jeeps are us at $2800.00...

We just have to wait patiently. There's alot of research and development, it's not like they have half doors they could just sell to us...wait a second... yes they do.

No kidding, these could have been available from day one.

The release was "held up" by the development of the new Dodge Ram? What's to develop? The size of the box they're gonna go in?

No, $2800 is for 1 pair from JeepsAreUs. If you add the 4 door option and check the cart you'll see that it wants to charge you $5600 for 4 doors.

Does anyone have a picture of the new Mopar front bumper with the fog lights? It's listed in the article and on Mopar's site but no picture yet.
