Mud Guards at the dealership... WTF??
 

:) ok first of all, sorry for killing the cow 2 or 3 times about the mud guards... but this may also help other people...

I called the dealership and asked how much it would cost me to get the OEM mud guards installed, they quoted: " Oh about $300 plus tax"
Ok, so the mud guards cost $119 and the labor cost over $180?

wow, I am so installing them myself...

*********************

Has anybody bought online from either:


Mitsubishiparts.net (mud guards $101.54)

Do it your self. 1/2 hour per guard is the extreme if you go really slow. Took me about 1 hour 15 minutes with care and using the 3M adhesion promoter stuff.

Thank you for the tutorial, does it include the screws too?

RE: Mud Guards at the dealership... WTF??
 

Thats about right.... dealer doesnt like doing things for cheap. Thats full retail for the guards, and looks like they are planning on taking 2 hrs to install @ $90/ hr for a total of $180. Most dealers or shops charge between $70 and $100 per hour so thats about right.

Yes do it yourself, if you are able to handle a screwdriver that is ;) .... takes about 30-45 min. The instructions that come with the kit say to remove the rear wheels (which is'nt needed). Maybe thats why the dealer wants to charge for 2hrs of labor...
