labor cost for accessory installation

Hi everyone,

I am planning to purchase a RDX sometime in October. Does anyone know what is a reasonable amount of labor charge for installing running boards, side molding and wheel locks?

Thanks in advance.

if you can change a tire, you can install wheel locks

The dealer I went to quoted me $1100 for just the running boards installed but after reviewing the installation instructions, I decided to do it myself. Costs me $420 for the running boards, and $100 for the splash guards. Very easy to install. You can do it yourself and save money on the labor charge. You don't even need to raise the car up with the jack stands. All I used were a utility knife, a ratchet, 10mm and 12mm socket and a cup of coffee.
