if i still know how to use a calculator, that comes out to $168 for the install? that seems kinda high to me, the install costs 4 times as much as the subframes

 

well most of the times when you get your car repaired at a shop the parts are about 100 total and the labor another 200^. My gf payed 37 for parts and the total was 150 or something close to that.

 

damn, i wish i had a welder

 

Yeah I'm happy my step dad is a welder so I wont have to go through that. I think I will go with the powder coated ones from blue oval. I dont really want to get the bare ones because of rust an such. Or do you guys recommend getting the bare and doing something to them?

 

just paint the bare ones

 

I remember someoe saying they got the bare ones all rusted and such. How do you like the ones your revcieved? Are they rusted at all and do they have the seat support?

 

the kind im gonna get is bare metal and has the seat support

 

When are you getting them installed?

 

I guess skilled labor is not worth much ehh? FWIW many people "think" they can just get a welder and go at it, most times theier welds look like booger stuck on a wall at best, not to mention that they are weak and will corode faster than a good weld. Figureing about 5 hours to do the install right (with metal preping takng out the carpet) it works out to $33 and change per hour, I know Union Welders who make more than that without the overhead of having your own buissness or shop.

 

Yeah welding is definately a skill that comes with practice. I know it has taken me a while learning in school, but I slowly got there. You gotta take out the carpet to install subframes?
