Lol..

He’s charging $160/hr for labor, $200/hr for fabrication work. He’s assigning 8 hours worth of labor. He is also removing the exhaust to do the res delete. He’s not just cutting it while it’s still on the vehicle. This doesn’t really include a custom tune. He’s just doing the Flashpro. I...

Yeah Pure Tuning lol. I honestly can’t really find a reputable tuner closer to me in Michigan that will tune it lol. He does seem pretty knowledgeable with these cars though I agree. Hour and a half drive kinda sucks but I’d rather have someone who understands this platform do this work.

Ohhh lol I get you now. Well, apparently the labor charges were incorrect. I asked if they were charging 300+ an hr cause the quote seemed a little high and apparently he was working two quotes at once and carried over the labor charges from the other quote. Do I believe that? Maybe lol. But...

What is the problem with the taxes? I don’t think I’m following. Someone else mentioned this as well but I mean, I don’t see why this work wouldn’t be taxed; unless you’re taking about not paying taxes on the labor.

No, they didn’t list labor charges, but I think $175 is roughly around typical hourly labor costs (correct me if I’m wrong ofc..) So just to clarify, this does seem high to you for labor charges? I’m in Michigan btw.

See attached image. Labor costs seem like 2x as much as what they should be. I'm figuring 3 hours for the intercooler, 1.5 for the intake, and 1.5 for the res delete. At $175/hr that’s $1050…

it’s brand new haha. Their detailers just suck.

Yeah I’m in Michigan. Although I do have a friend who just bought a new 25 Rs3 and is using it as a daily here lol….

Picking up my car on Monday. I will be buying the forged wheels, so I am looking to sell the black, non-forged wheels on the car now. Car is brand new, so the wheels will be in perfect condition (only driving 10 mins down the street from the dealer to my house). $1400+ shipping. On the Honda...

That thread is what convinced me to go with the black. They also had a sonic grey at the dealership, but I like the black better—it really makes the red Honda emblems and the Type-R badge pop. I also think the OEM forged wheels look awesome paired with black. That’s ganna be the first thing I...

Good to hear from another M2 owner. Can’t say I’m happy to let go of the M2, but I am excited to see how the Type-R does. I actually wanted the Type-R initially, but one of my best friend’s father-in-law is a manager at a BMW dealer, so I kinda got influenced lol. Also, no way in hell I’m...

Yeah it’s new. Their detailers just don’t know how to wash cars apparently. I’m taking it immediately to get polished and ceramic coated so I’m hoping my detailer can get them out…

I’ve driven it, but it was a very short commute, and I didn’t drive it spiritedly—didn’t even put it in R+. It’s a FWD….presumably there is some sort of torque steer in the lower gears at hard acceleration. I’ve heard some ppl complain about it.

Haha. Well, they already listed it for $1k below sticker, so it was really $3k off. Part of it I’m assuming is because they originally gave me a horrible offer for my trade-in, and then the sales manager called me the next day and was basically like yeah he severely low balled you—they were...

Hey guys. Got engaged recently and have been going back and forth on trading in my G87 to get my payment lower and pull out the equity I have in the car to help with new home/wedding costs. Pulled the trigger today and put a deposit on a black 25 FL5. Sticker is $47,090. There’s some paint...
