I think it really depends on the install...the installer and how Krazie you want to go.

here in pittsburgh (go steelers!!) most shops charge per hour and its between 25 and 40 dollars depending the installation type..... i just did all mine myself.... just find u a switched 12, constant 12 and good grnd... remember, keep power wires on one side and signal wires on the other... and u should be good to go....

yeah out here it's roughly 1800 a week which translates to 40-50 an hour for full custom work. just curious if it's a similar range everywhere else.

talking custom fiberglass work for things like dashes, hoods, doors, etc.

The places I worked in college charged $40/hr, but that was 8-10 years ago. I would be surprised if any good shops got less than $50-60/hr these days.

What's sad is that their installers probably only make 12-15/hr.
