How much should I neg for Dealer Installed Ground Effects Kit on a new 350?

 

Somewhere between the dealer cost and installed cost. IIRC there is only a $300 spread between the two. If you are getting it on a car just purchased from them perhaps they will do it closer to dealer cost as a goodwill gesture. If you are bringing in a car already owned you may have to pay closer to MSRP.

 

And the dealer cost is what price?

 

I don't have the figures in front of me but dealer cost is somewhere in the $1200 range, and MSRP is $1500.

 

One of my local dealers sells the kit for $1150, and it can be purchased for even less through some of the CL vendors, so I'm willing to bet that true dealer cost is under $1k

 

The $1,200 is the dealer cost for the ground effects kit installed as a Port Option, so it includes the installation cost. So you are right, the raw parts cost will be something less than that.

 

Ok, I spaced it. I was thinking of kit cost only. The OP asked about dealer installed cost, which is port optioned at $1200 like you said. Getting it installed at the dealership is likely to a lot higher. I'll just venture a WAG and say the dealer will quote 5 hours labor. My local dealer charges $111/hr., which could make it quite spendy.

 

Hmm wonder, I saw a few pics and it is nicer but wonder if the extra price is worth it. For me to get the guts to do it myself would never happen.
