I have typically found that the labor cost seems to be double the purchase price of the product. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Installing stripes is a rather laborous proceedure. So say the quote is $200, and you assume $50 and hour labor (which is cheap) that means they are planning to do it in 4 hours, or two guys do it in 2 hours. Not too bad. IMHO.

It does take time, but with a few guys to spot you it shouldn't be hard. Just make sure you have it centered on where your putting it and have someone make sure it stays there.

Is there an outline you follow on, or do you just eye it up?

I had mine put on when i got the hood, it took the guy 8 hours, but the look sweet and he only charged $100.

Mine cost 250 to have put on. Took them 6 hours to get it right so the price was good. I have the ones from suncoast creations that are like the 30th TA (w/the bird on the front of the ram air hood).

What about the one from LS1Speed, I'm pretty sure they give you the instructions for free. How does that work out?
