Price on CAI install....

What's up guys? I got a price quote today from a shop here in NYC (Speed World on Queens Blvd.) to install an AEM CAI for $400, parts and labor. Do you think it's fair or too much? Any suggestions on performance shops in the Queens or Long Island area? Thanks!

That's too much IMHO. I say $300 for part/labor is a fair price.

Just do it yourself. We did it ourselfs. People say they have to take off the front bumber, but you dont. Just look at the pics that my bro posted. Its easy.

$400?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Even if it includes the part, I got my Fujita for $150 and had it installed for 40 bucks!

Order it youself and call stillhere153. Can't beat an offer of a fellow 'ziner assisting for gas money.

Even the closest Acura dealership should be able to install for under $100. Which means a decent shop should do it for $60 or under. LOL
