Mark in Baltimore

I'm about to rip my headliner out. $750 to install that bad boy sounds like a very fair price.

One word: Alcantara!

Hmmmm....yes please

Nurburger

Absolutely.....

Maz,
Perhaps you should have your 928 interior guy send you the Alcantara to ensure a good match with the other parts he's covering for you...?

That's a fair price. This is one of those jobs that is hard to do, even harder to do correctly.

Considering all the glass has to come out and get glued back in to do it properly $750.00 does not seem too unreasonable.

I wouldn't pay anyone $150.00 per hour unless I was getting a lap dance while waiting....................ZP44

Alright, alright - I surrender!

So the $150/hr number I pulled out of my butt stunk (not surprisingly).

The point was, when you look at the hours x hourly rate + materials breakdown, the job doesn't seem so bad. You want qualified people working on your car, and you want them to take their time and use good stuff. In the end, that all adds up.

ZP44, if you ever find that shop, let me know.

Let's see, $100 shop rate leaves $50 per hour for the dancer. Ahhhh I'm not sure you'd like what you'd get for $50 an hour.

That's $100/hour shop rate, $600/hour for dancer with no minimum ($50 for a 5 minute "dance" followed by a 55 minute waiting period). Sort of like a doctor's visit.
