Anyone with two hands can install the intake. The calipers require you to have a torque wrench to take off the wheels, floor jacks, and a jack lift. You can get caliper paint for like $15-20. Essentially you are paying solely for labor almost anyone can do.

Intake is 30 min job tops. Calipers maybe 2 hours for all four. Do it yourself. I do mods for my friends all the time like intake and hid kit install. They only buy me a beer or 2 when I spent 3 hours to install cold air intake because the bumper had to come off! Whereas labor at the shop is about $60 an hour. 2 beers = $180??? In your case they making $100 an hour. DIY!
