$300
Now, im in calculus right now and if im correct, then they want more for then install than the d!@#$ kit itself...
While i was there a guy came in w/ a license plate frame w/ LEDs in it and asked them to install it- they wanted 35$ to do it... and he gladly payed... whats this world coming to where peeps wont do anything themselves?

I'd say that the real problem is that you using calculus to add up your car modification bills.

You don't need integrals or derivatives to add 3 numbers...

Yeah, thats the way it was when I was looking around as well. I finally found a really cool place for like $50 cheaper...and well $50 is like a month and half worth of gas money for a college student. Anyhow, if you want to you can check his site out. http://www.vanhorn1.com
Plus, if anything happens to the product before you install it he sends a brand new one out the next day. He is really great! The installationwas the bummer though because it was the same amount as the lights or sometimes even more. Well, just thought that I would chime in and let you hear my opinion.

300 to install an underbody kit....mine only took an hour to install, I'd charge about 50 bucks to do that.

Zorminster · 10-30-2003, 08:50 PM

thats what i was thinkin- im not a begginner electrician and feel competent so im gunna do it myself once i get the kit (probably christmas-- that and $$ for an exhaust)

DILLIGAF · 10-31-2003, 12:03 AM

plus its more fun to do **** urself....

Zorminster · 10-31-2003, 02:47 AM

yup- sadly i probably wont be able to do my own exhaust- i can arc weld but havent ever tried tig and my parents wouldnt let me i dont think
theyd be like if your payin 200$ for it you better let them do it
