I think $200 for all 5 windows would be cheap. Where are you getting those prices?

Same quality (material and workmanship)? Maybe I should think about doing it the next time my car is down there.

labor. it's so expensive here, much better down there. plus it's supply and demand. a lot more shops down south, more people, more traffic. so prices lower

that's another resaon why pretty much ALL the parts on my car, they are installed in LA
