$1400.00 for a hood scoop and install!?!?!?!
So, I called the dealership I bought my car from today to get an exact quote on purchasing a hood scoop, with paint and install. The Serviceman came back and quoted me $1400.00!!!! Ok, I know for a fact I can buy a scoop online for about $150. It CANNOT cost $1250 to:
[ul][*]Put on a coat of primer, three coats of gloss black, and a coat of clear coat[*]drill two holes in my hood[*]attach scoop to the lid with 3M tape, using the holes as a guide[/ul]
Please someone tell me the Serviceman is smoking something a little stronger than Camel cigarettes at this point. If this is the going price, I am going to quit my day job and become a friggin Ford Mechanic!

Yep, somebody was smoking crack.......
Buy a pre-painted Roush for about 225.00, and spend all of an hour and a half installing it yourself.......

The dealer was prolly thinking of a functional hood scoop which is available for our model. he was going as far as cutting into our hood and what not. It just wasn't a quote for a non-functional hood scoop. Aesthetic hood scoop might set you back like $400 after install, no metal work to be done.
Thats the only thing i can think of

OOOOH, gotta see some pics, volcom2218!!!!
UPDATE: I got a hold of the serviceman again yesterday. He misquoted the price (no s**t!). Now he is quoting me $520.00 for the scoop, paint, and install... whatcha think?
