Most stuff you can do yourself. Dealer will rape you...unless you have the money and don't care. Quite easy to do the icebox and exhaust yourself.

Acura of Pleasanton did all my mods: CT i/sc/h/fullcatback/springs/sways/strutbar, Konis and Brembo BBK. The labor cost was very reasonable for a dealer and I got everything at their cost, well below CT's MSRP. The installs went very well and were done exceptionally well by the tech. Best of all, my car is still fully warranteed.

I got mine installed at a local dealer. I had coilovers, sways, and the icebox installed for $400 I think? Not the cheapest and obviously not as cheap as DIY, but I got a loaner and if I have any problems the dealer has taken care of me. Headers ended up costing me an arm and a leg because the first 2 sets I had didn't fit and I had to pay to get them installed / uninstalled each time. If you're gonna buy headers, buy the Comptech ones!

Installed the Icebox and the strutbar myself - very straightforward. I started on the headers at home, but it proved to be pretty demanding without some type of lift - ended up having King Motorsports (now located in New Berlin, WI) install them for a very reasonable price ($120 as I recall). They did a super job.

There's no satisfaction like doing your own work.
