M Performance Parts installation costs
Soo...
I was thinking, and maybe I'm not the only one, that it would be nice to have some numbers (total cost or labor hrs) to go along with all the mod activity lately - maybe an "official thread" even. We share car and lease deals with regularity, how about actual third party performance part installation costs? ****** Let's start a list: M Performance pedals. $20 (Labor - DanG) M Carbon mirror covers. $80 (Labor - DanG) M Side-splitters & M pedals. $280 (Labor $250 & Paint $30 - Mantii) LSD installation. $720/775 CAD (Labor - Killramos) Last edited by dmack003; 07-11-2014 at 02:51 PM.. Reason: Information consolidation. |

It was late in the afternoon when I got to the service area for them to install. I was showing the mechanic what I needed done and asked him if he could also change the stock reflectors while he was at it, and he said no problem. So got both of those things done at the dealer with no charge. One of my friends who works for a local bodyshop will be painting my side splitters and installing them along with my m performance pedals for $250. Paint cost me additional $30. Other body shops in the area were asking close to $600 for the side splitters and pedals. |

Have you installed performance springs? Last week I was trying to learn how much members were paying to have them installed (because the recent H&R mod results look so awesome across every post). I had trouble finding any discussions containing labor cost though. |

Anything done at port should be no charge. My dealer quoted me the following, did it all myself in under an hour:
Mirror Covers - 1 hour Grilles - 2.25 hours Pedals - 2 hours IND Reflectors - 2.25 hours Replace Indicator Bulbs - 0.5 hours Grand total $1,100 completely insane.

This is simply not true. My dealer confirmed that there are install charges at port. I questioned this at first, however after several other people reported their dealers saying the same thing i believe this to be true. I started another thread on the topic

Yeah I was literally told parts counter or port installed same exact cost. I was too late to add any of the stuff anyway so just sourced it all myself from Sun and others at a steep discount, so I never got far enough in the process to discover what you did. When I had in writing quotes I had no reason to question it.

Interesting... my dealer had no idea even if items could be installed at port. I think he was saying "no" so they could do install for $$
Glad I came across this. I am about to place order. Need to make that last decision on few port installed or DIY items. |

So here are the hour numbers for a few things that I got installed:
Grills: 0.9 hrs Pedals: 0.75 hrs Mirror Caps: 0.9 hrs There should be standard hours in the install manuals for the parts.. Someone posted the manual for the aero parts on the boards a while ago: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1039167 Does anyone have the install manuals for the other performance parts?
