I don't know on this one. You basically paid a grand to have pipes installed and a fender fully customized, painted and installed. In the big scheme, thats not that bad. I'm telling you right now, theres a hell of a lot of work that goes into widening a fender, then prepping and painting it. Then installing it, and all the wiring as well. I don't think you did too bad.

Most of that labor probably came with the fender, not installing the pipes.. is $1800 for everything high? If it includes the $750 for the pipes, then no, it's about average.. i mean.. $1800-$750 = $1050.. so you're basically looking at $1050 for a paint job on a fender (which near me would run about $300 alone, so we'll call it $300 for ***** and grins).. so $1050-$300 = $750.. so $750 to chop, widen, weld, sand, and prep for paint a fender..call that $200 which probably is low.. so $550 in labor.. $550/16 = $34/hour for labor.. its about right

+1 I agree it sounds pricey but to cut down a fender and widen it and make it look seamless plus all the rest....... not too terrible.

I don't know what you think you can fight? The only thing you can truly dispute is the paint not matching. You can ask for an itemized detail of labor charges but how can you dispute/fight it if you authorized the work without an estimate.
Let me get this right, you expected to get the pipe installation and fender customized and painted for a total $450 to $600 labor? You can't be serious?

Sorry, I just went back and read this post, but you seriously expected all that done for not more than $550??
