jesus man, $170
my mechanic told me 1,200. f'kin great deal huh?

Mechanic: I could deffinatly do the install, but i'd have to do it at the Lexus factory rate, which should be around 1,200...
Me: Well uh, if its the same price.. why won't i take it to an authorized lexus dealership and not have to worry about it...
Mechanic: Because i can probably do it faster
Me: Well then.. it should be cheaper? not the same price
Mechanic: No i can't do it for less than what Lexus would do it for.
Me:lol, cya

i suggest checking out the local forums asking for a good tech to install. get advice from local members. i would say come to jersey and the the install in fort lee for 180. im sure there are some in ny too just ask the other local member from the northeast forums.
