Default Nitrous install

I just bought a 03 coupe and i am ready to do some modding. I have a NX kit in my room from my previous car (mustang) and its just begging to be installed. My question is how much does a shop ussually charge for a proffesional install?

I checked out a shop here and they were asking for $225 just for the kit and $100 for each accessory. If you just have the basic kit with no accessories the instructions are pretty good and you should be able to do it yourself.

Wait up you can install it yourself> The instructions are very clear. It took me 2-1/2 hours to do my NX kit. It was my first nitrous install. It is super easy. Why pay someone $100-200 for something any "kid" could do. Read the instructions 4-5 times before you start then jump in. If you need help e-mail ro call 314-581-0797. ANdy Berryman
