He's supposed to order it today and call me to (a) confirm the expected delivery date and (b) tell me the warranty info. If I still haven't heard anything by 2pm I'll call them.

I'd put a hold on that order. You can piece together each item from our vendors and put a chunk of that money back in your pockets. $3,000 is a little too much IMO.

Maybe I am getting screwed (paying the standard "I don't know much about cars" premium), but I made the best decision I could. :shrugs: I'm living with it, plus it's too late for any changes now. Assuming the kit gets delivered tomorrow I'll have my car back NLT Thursday, and at this point that's all I care about.

Because it's not: if you go back and read again, the out-the-door quote went from $2500 to $3000. The kit quote went from $1600 to $1800, because apparently the first one wasn't comprehensive (whatever). More parts = more labor, so an additional $500 all told. Depressing, but it didn't feel outrageous.

The guy also said this kit is my only option if I want the car done any time soon: he said everywhere else they called, the parts were out of stock until mid-June.

Oh dude, I'm sorry.
