You mean almost 750.

That is outrageous for an install. The price of the headunit is about right, but dang, even if they were installing it @ 250 it would be too much. That unit should take about 2hrs tops to install in your ride. Typically a good installer like that will charge 50-75 per hour. Do the math, and you can see they are trying to jack you on labor.

it's a custom install though, so i expected it to be more expensive. I'm sure you already know that there is no dash kit for the isx50 yet.

Maybe I should've been more clear, the $750 is install and the custom dash kit.

If i were you go to a place called Shadowtec there are located in arlington. Abrams is the exit there are on the service road. To me they do better work and they are much cheaper. But the bad thing is they are always busy. I have their number if you want it. Don't know If I am allowed to give it out on here.
