After an incident on the highway I am replacing a number of items. I have already purchased all the items at GREAT prices. But I need them put on.

The dealership quoted me a price of "just under 600 dollars" for install of:

1. A/C Condenser
2. MS Front Bumper [w/ fog light brackets]
3. MS Side skirts

What ya think ?

Too expensive in my opinion. Why not try a DIY, except for the A/C I don't think the others are that hard.

I really dont want to **** up the install of a 1200 dollar front bumper and 700 dollar sideskirts !

my a/c condenser install (including the condenser) was $777. they noted that in early RX8's the condensers are prone to being hit by road debris/stones, causing a puncture. So, this repair is NOT covered under warranty. Racing Beat sells a stone guard kit for the condenser and the oil coolers for $100 (shipped price) but you have to install them yourself and it requires removing the front bumper. Something you may want the dealer to install while replacing your front end. Later models have condenser "stone guards" from the factory, I am told.

Um yeah I knew all that, but I purchased my condenser for something like 200 and they quoted me an install price of 250 [for just the condenser] I know about the racing beat stuff and the stone tray is being replaced as well [it was fucked up along w/ the condenser itself]

So you payed 777 for parts and labor ? Or just labor ?!! [ouch]
