Dealer Rip Off!!!!

I acquired the full body kit at invoice price. $875.00 I was curious at how much dealers will charge for installation so I called around.

Palm Beach Acura $450.00 plus taxes.
Delray Acura $350.00 plus taxes.

I was laughing so hard. They know how to kill customers with their prices. I installed it myself, and took me around 3 1/2 hours to install it with the help of my dad. I will post pictures soon.

To anyone that is at least somewhat willing to work on their own cars, dealer labor costs always sound like a rip off.

On top of that, it's always nice to know exactly what has been done to your stuff, and how it was done.

I have only had someone do work to my car once, my first stereo install. After seeing the crapass job they did (punctured leather, loose wires, incorrect wiring, left out screws), I never let anyone touch my car. Because of that way of thinking, I can now work with wood, form fiberglass, lay bondo, work with ABS/plexi/etc, and handle anything electrical in my car. Now I'm worknig on learing how to paint so I dont have to take things to the body shop anymore.

More power for you and less wasted money.
