Yikes "you" definitely were getting ripped off.

I paid for the hour of labour, which was $80, but also people love my face so I get things for cheap

Exhaust was done perfectly and as mentioned, this particular one has done 370's but i'll agree, not all shops are created equal

Yeah, they vary from place to place. The hourly rate at the Midas here was like $110 an hour-- more than the dealer.

I just got a quote of $800 and up. I'm guessing they broke it down like this:

Mounting wheels +tires $100
H&R Springs $200
Rear Camber $100
Sway bars $100
Akebono BBK $200
Exhaust $100/4
Fog light $100/4
GTR button $100/4
HPS silicon tubes $100/4

Reasonable? I was also thinking of bucket sets and illuminated kick plates but I'll hold off that for now, I didn't even bother asking for a quote.
