I just got my MS wing from Rosenthall, and I'm going to have the dealer install it for me when they put on the Appearance Package stuff they still owe me next week. Anyone know the book labor charge for this job?

I was quoted $500 from the dealership body shop for the installation of the entire Mazdaspeed body package. They estimated about 13 hours of work.

 

LOL are you kidding?

My local dealership charged about $190 for install. They had to drill the holes in my hood, otherwise I'd have done it myself.

 

bureau13 im assumin 190 for the spoiler install, jason doesnt have the whole MS kit just the spoler and Synstr said he was quoted 500 for the entire kit.

please keep us posted as to the price u pay for the install. I am planin on getting the spoiler in july (bday time)

 

Cool, $190 is probably worth the peace of mind I get from not drilling holes in my brand new car! Hopefully they'll stick around that price.

The $500 I was quoted for was for the entire exterior package installation.... the nose (with fog light brackets), side skirts, under spoiler (enlarged exhaust ports), and the rear wing spoiler.

Jason Hamilton seems to think that is pretty funny, but I honestly would rather pay that out upfront and get the whole thing done, rather than fork out $200 every time I want an extra piece thrown on. However, it is your 8 and your money, so have fun!

 

Synistyr, I was laughing at the labor time, not the cost.

I don't have any intentions of getting the full MS kit, which is why I don't have it. If I wanted the whole thing, I'd already have it on my car.

 

Just did the install on my car and it took about 35 minutes. Real easy if you got the tools.

 

I am not sure how much difficult to install a RX8 Mspeed spoiler but I only paid $135 to install mine Mspeed spoiler on my Miata , paint included.

 

my dealership said if i give them a painted veilside 2 kit they would install it in a couple hours

 

OK, just to follow up, Gunther Mazda charged me $165 to install the Mazdaspeed wing that I brought them...I was pleased!

bureau13, may i ask how much you paid (Gunther Mazda) for your MS wing?

Thanks...

 

he bought the wing from rosenthal

 

That's right, I had it shipped from Rosenthal (gotta love low prices and free shipping) and installed at Gunther.

OK, in the better late than never category, and with apologies for the poor lighting in one of the pictures...
