Ridiculous Dealer Quote-Rant

Not much to say here except I called a local Acura dealer to see how much they would charge to install a Comptech RSB since I figured I may as well just put it in then have it sitting there and after 20 minutes waiting he comes back and says they would charge me $420 to take out the old one and put the new one in.

Suffice to say I won't be calling back...

$420 is way too much. You may want to consider installing the RSB yourself. A jack stand, a set of metric sockets and open end wrenches are all you need, if I remember correctly. I only had to remove the left rear wheel to make it easier to remove the stock bar and install the new bar. I also added a set of poly bushings from Energy Suspension.

Open Road Acura of Wayne...
Every other Acura dealer in the area has told me they won't install anything aftermarket on the car.
