why waiting install asap , nice family though god save them for you ![Smilie](https://www.myg37.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
i think when any one buy a lot of stuff at once & install it in one place in the same time
is wrong in my opinion .. i like when buying any thing i had installed immediately to feel the change
have a great modding bandit

I called Jotech 4 times and talked to someone. Kenny never has called me back. I am going to try a few places posted by the cool forum members that are close to my house.
Just called TAY in grand prairie (about an hour away), said off the top of his head, on the high side $600. Thats too much I think. I was thinking about $400-$500?

Cool, post some pics. Hope your install goes well. Let me know what you paid for getting various things installed, or your total install price for your mods and list them.
I am so sick of waiting! Thursday I am getting my garage floor painted with Epoxy. Need to determine if I want Tan or Gray??? My walls are tan, but need to decide.

Around here, dealership work is around $90 to $100/hr. Custom shops will charge anywhere from $60 to $80 per hour. Do the math and assess the value for the work done.
As a rule, shops make better money when they buy the parts. When someone come to them with parts in hand, it's usually estimated upwards a little bit to compensate.
But if you've got a trusted mechanic at your disposal, then trust him. IMO, $475 means a full day's work and an honest price. Based on your list of parts, that's easily a full day's work.

StillOG!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!
Tay is going to do my install!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much for info man! My guy said $900-$1200. Actually what I am getting done is a lot of work, no matter what anyone says on here. I would liek to see anyone do this in less than 5 hours. I bet it would have taken me 10, unless I had a lift and all the right tools.
I JUST dropped off my G37, septemeber 21st 2012. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Drove my wife's SUV with ALL my parts in the back to his shop. The ARK exhaust is a pretty large box. I had to lay all the seats down in the Lexus RX330. to fit all the stuff.
Drove to work this morning, 30 miles, then from work drove back the other way to Grand Prairie, TX (55 minute drive) to drop off all the parts. then drove back to Grapevine where my wife was at (30 minutes). Then we both drove in seperater cars Back to Tay's Shop, dropped off my G37 (30 minutes), jumped in the car with her and drove an hour back home to my house. Man what a day! it will be worth it and TAY is installin my MODS himself.
He has a guy that works for him, but luckily he is at an event tomorrow at The Texas Motor Speedway, so Tay said he's doing it. Should be done hopefully by the end of the day. So, have to drive out there again (an hour to pick up my NEW G37 and an hour home) AND don't forget, have to load up my wife's SUV with all the stock partstyhat came off, THEN, I finally get to enjoy my car.
Oh ya, then I need to do an allignment ASAP. I am going to give him $500 (quoted me $475 which is dirt cheap for all the stuff I'm doing)..................
Also tomorrow I am getting my Garage Floors painted with Epoxy Garage Floor Paint. It will look great! $1,000! (A bargain actually because he is also putting down a double layer Top Coat of Polyurathane).......
I am officially broke!
Next Mod is a high lift Garage door (have 14 foot ceilings in my garage), with a LiftMaster JackLift 3800 Garage Door Opener. I am doing all of this so I can get the final Mod. I am finally going to just do it. A Bendpak 4 Post 9,000 Car Lift in my garage. Then we can fit all the cars in my garage and I can do basic maintence.
