Your LBS owes you some standard BB7s and an install. Don't settle for less. Crooks like that oughta face criminal charges.
Surreal; So an LBS drops the ball and installs a nearly identical but wrong part = "Crooks like that oughta face criminal charges."
Really what part of reality does your universe spin in? I would guess yours is a universe of one idiot and a keyboard!
Geez!
