Ok, maybe it's not that high. It just seemed high to me. Thanks for all the input. And by the way, I provided the fender that was customized. I didn't know if that was clear or not.

Labor rate is always a killer. Doesn't take it long to go through the roof.

I know it sounds like alot but if you break it down I would guess,off the top of my head that it cost you 40 an hour rough and tough. Not bad for having a professional do the work. How is the bodywork on the fender.
Quality does cost money.

I think as others posted, you were not taxed. Custom fender work especially widening is costly, add a decent paint job and exhaust to boot. You were treated fairly IMO, but like all of us(Me especially), we want it done for free and get paid too..lol Enjoy your ride! Sure she looks hot, we need pics!!!!

Thanks for all the replies. I don't feel as bad anymore. The work was decent. Like I posted earlier, paint could've matched better. But it's decent & I can't see the seams. This is my bobber project. I wish I knew how to put pics on this site. I'm not the best with computers. I do most with my iPhone. I barely even use my computer. Some day I'll figure it out. Lol
