I bought my Spoiler a while back at the dealer where I got my g sedan and I went in to see how much they charge to install the spoiler. They say its a 3 hour job so it would come out to like $320 bucks. Is that a reasonable price or are they trying to RIP ME A NEW ONE?????

 

spoiler usually comes with a template.

Tape that **** to the trunk. Then drill the holes and you are done


Very simple to install

 

^^ X2

 

rip off

dude, i called and asked them to install my front lip, and they said it was like 160-320...something around there...got my rims done at the shop, and they installed it for 60 bucks. and it took them a while too.

i think you should take it to an autobody shop and ask them to do it, they usually specialize in stuff like this.

 

FWIW, I purchased an OEM spoiler for my old 03 G and had it installed by a local body shop. They only charged me $75.

 

Funny... If the dealer labor rates were more reasonable. Say a 10~20% premium over a good mom+pop garage, almost everyone would be getting their service from the dealer (as long as they did good work)...

For some items it's just simply ridiculous.... paying a "master technician" north of 3 figures/hour to say replace an air filter. No amount of overhead/training costs makes sense of that... As long as folks are willing to pay that kind of $$$.

 

Their rates are actually pretty competitive (normally $80 ~ $100 per hour). It is the way they "estimate" the total hours that kill people.. especially on the non-regular stuff like installing aftermarket parts

 

rip off do it yourself

 

I just had my OEM spoiler installed for 80 bux . . .

 

I did mine myself in about 1.5 hours taking my time.

 

We charge 1hr labor. It's not that hard.

 

dude man spoiler is not hard to install read some forum and read the instruction it will probably take like 1 hr to do it urself also don't worry you got it
