supply and demand, why is the rear bumper more expensive, maybe there are alot of them that get rear ended causing the demand to go up ... must be similar to the drivers side skirt ... maybe to many rip it off and need a new one during one of those touchless car washes ...

One thing I do know about the front and rear bumber pricing... the reason Ford charges so much more for SVT body parts (in general on any SVT car) is because they do NOT want "fake" ones driving around... it's not in their best interest to sell a specialized car or somewhat of an "elite group" of cars and have people copy them with other cars, if you want one, you should buy a real one from them... that's most of the reason. The reason that the rear facia is so much more than the front is because the bumper structure and crash zone is IN the bumper, it's not just a cover... I have bran new SVT service order front and rear facia (this is why I need the side skirts), the price difference is clear there... the front bumper is merely a cover. It probably costs about $10 more than the SE bumper in materials and mold, but since it's an SVT, that's where the price gouge comes in.
As far as the side skirts... I have no idea, possibly because the drivers side gets more wear and tear with the driver getting in and out of the car, more likely to be replaced?... who knows... but unless there is a notable difference in the parts, even structurely, it's more than likely a supply/demand, or even more importantly, demand issue.

You serious?!  That's scary, I may never go to one of those again. I sometimes regret being so low. When I pull up to some carwashes they give me a  face and tell me my car will never make it through when I had already done it 5 times before

those are all good points, I just got used bumpers and completely forgot about that fact ... but a point to note is the pre98 front bumper at least on the mystique has the support built into it, the first time I took a post 98 front bumper off I went for the support bolts not knowing that it wasn't one peice.
on the side skirts, it might be something as simple as the mold was made for one side and there was alot of added cost to have it mirrored for the other side, the front control arms are the same way one costs more but they are mirror images ...

Shipping to Michigan aprox $25
They come primed (no paint), access pannels, brackets, retaining clips, etc... 100% complete bran new parts. I guess that's not too bad, but damn, aother $300 bucks! Geez! For a steelership, that's not too bad though, so I'm happy with the "fall back" plan if need be... thank you guys for pointing me in that direction.
