True, I took mine for a quote to install the leds on the rear reflectors and change fog lihtd to hid and wanted to charge me $700. For the installation only, the parts were provided by me. At the end I installed myself.

my dealership did my Joe Z, and rear sway bar. It only voids the warranty if it is the direct cause. Meaning you blow a strut or have an issue with a bushing you might be SOL but that would seem pretty obvious. They mus have had a bad experience with a customer . Seems odd to me

plenty of after market race shops around.

Not correct, it depends on the dealership. My local one here in Charlotte was very mod friendly, they installed most everything on my lexus including coilovers, hi stall torque converter, LSD and working on the supercharger.
