What should I expect to pay

So I currently have/will be recieving in the mail these parts in the next few days that need installation.

Comptech F/R Sway Bars
Comptech Header
Comptech Exhaust
Ksport Coilovers

Their is a guy at my job who has a roommate that works at the service area in a nearby Acura dealership that is will do the installs but he won't give me a price on install and keeps telling me to ask shops around and he'll do it for cheaper.

What is a normal price to install these 4 parts AND what is a fair price.

JBlue - I am about to get my headers installed also. Your looking at $200 the most, $150 would be a good deal.

Exhaust you should really do yourself, it is a direct bolt-on.

i had my TEINs w/ EDFC, headers, and exhaust all installed in the same weekend (since didn't have the time to do it) and paid about $300 total (granted, my brother-in-law did the headers/exhaust, but i still gave him some money)

Thing is I work 2 jobs and work nearly 70 hours a week. I don't really have the time nor the tools to do the work myself.

Anyone in Jersey willing to make a few bucks PM me

I would say that 300 bucks would be a respectable price for both of you. You could do the exhaust, but I doubt he would even consider the 15 minutes of labor involved as part of the price. Having done all of those installs plenty of times, I would average the job at about 4-6 hours. If you only have hand tools, maybe 8-10 hours.

If you were to go to a reputable shop they might charge around 500 bucks, but I could be mistaken. Remember that you don't live in bumblefuck, things are not going to be that cheap. Goodluck.
