Default Install Price??

What is a decent deal on the install of TPIS LT's a TC and computer editing?
Most places I've spoken to say that its $500 for headers, $500 for TC, and $500 for computer programming. Thats $1,500 alone for install. If a shop says they charge $65-$75 an hour then that would mean that it would take them about 7 hours to install headers 7 hours to install TC and 7 hours to program. Thats 21 hours and thats a bunch of crap. I've read time and time again that these 3 mods could be installed in 7-8 hours. Why are these quotes so high? Can anyone tell me what they paid for these installs in Houston? And if its cheaper than this can you help me out? Because I'm looking at $3,700 - $4,000 for these 3 mods.

Thanks Eric :cheers:

I paid around $300 to have TPIS LT's installed on my '99 coupe. For programming, standard price seems to be $500. I can't help you on the TC.
