Default 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)

and

Mitsubishipartspeople.com (mud guards $85.54)


If yes, how was your experience with them , thanks

They are extremely easy to install dont waste the money on having the dealer install them.

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.

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...
