09 Impala SS: I had Advance Auto Parts do it because is was free. Guy sighed when he saw it was an LS4. Took him longer to take the old one out than put the new one in. Took about 50 minutes. Would have taken me longer for sure. Side note: I love my Red Top.

I swapped in an Optima last month, and the first thing I did was unbolt the fuse box and move it aside. The whole process took me 30 minutes, and that included rerouting my HID harnesses.

Is this one of those pranks where I walk up to the counter with a new red top in hand and whisper to the clerk "BAT25" expecting my discount but instead get a WTF look and pay full price?
EDIT** I checked online and it works, but still higher than O'Reilly's price, anybody got a code for O'Reilly?

I actually ordered my Redtop from Advance online, it shipped to my office for free, then I walked into my local Advance with the receipt and they installed it. I called the store before ordering online just to make sure that was the way it worked. I had to order online because it was not stocked at any local stores. They would not take a credit card to order it. They wanted me to drive there, pay for it, then return for the install when it arrived. Online saved me a trip.
Make sure O'Reillys includes shipping...I paid $148.00 for mine shipped.

we get ripped up here. the cheapest I found it (there are not many dealers close to me) was $188 + tax. Surprising since our dollar is above par. I don't mind doing stuff like this, so I picked up the batterytoday and it will be going in tomorrow. I'll count all the swear words and let ya know.
Gotta get it done early cause I have my first tee time of the year at 2 pm. Yahoooo.
