Default Just got a quote

Was wondering if $150 was a good quote for installing the FRPP exhuast kit and the GT bumper?

Also, if the bumper needs buffing, it will also include that. Was just wondering if thats a good deal.

This is being done by a professional who has been working on Mustangs since the 80s. So, its sure to turn out right. For the price, it should anyway.

Any input would be great.

Thanks.

That sounds like a very fair amount for installing the exhaust and installing the GT bumper.

Sounds reasonable to me. I'd go with it... BTW, DylanFan, love the username and the sig.

Ya that sounds pretty decent, I bet a muffler shop here would charge me that just for the FRPP install.

you say for the price you feel it should come out great, but honestly, that price is really cheap for that amount of work and i would be worried about quality, but if you say he knows what he's doing then go for it

Well,

He says he has been working/racing them since the 80s and he is a co-worker of mine. He owns 8 Mustang, three being a 06 GT with 475 to the tires with 175 shot nitrous, a 90 GT with a Vortech supercharger running 13 lbs of boost, and he bought a 08 V6 that he plans on getting a twin turbo 5.4 running propane (with the adjustment to run that) so I would say he knows what he is doing.

people that know the work can do it much faster than those who just do "general shop" work. I'd say it's a good deal, there really are a few decent people around that can do a good job without charging an arm and a leg. Finding them is like a unicorn, though.
edit: 175 shot of nitrous!? Good God!
