Default What is a good installation price for Weld-In SFC's?

I have a set of 3 point SLP Weld In SFC's. What do you think a good price to have them installed is with me pulling up the carpet?

$100 is reasonable IMO. Most of the people I know with weld-ins were quoted from 80-100.

Make sure whatever quote you get you ask how long it will take.

Like I stated above....some shops have quite a difference in labor rates. But the install should not take longer than about 1-2 hours.

I think I paid $40 to have my three-points welded in. Or maybe it was $60, and I never had to lift the carpet?

Rember the car has to be on a drive on lift, I was always told it needs to be under load when the subframes are put on..

I paid $35 after I bolted them in and sanded the areas for welding(i have the umi weld-in's, not the bolt-in's), so the front portion was just hanging as i drove it to the shop, all they had to do was put it on ramps, and do the welding. I thought $35 was a steal.
