Default cost of installation

So i just got my joe z exhaust and megan LP coilover and spark plugs today. My question is how much should i pay for the installation for each part. I talked to couple of shops around my area.

One of the shop installation charges:
joe z exhaust = 125
coilover= 300
spark plugs= 135
total= 560

I know this other guy who is will to do my coilover for $100 and exhaust for $75 but he doesnt have a shop or anything like that. And i dont know how much experience this guy has.

Any tips installing this parts. Any suggestion would be helpful. THanks

Install the exhaust and spark plugs yourself. Search for DIYs.

humm.. i don't know if you should do anything in the engine area yourself unless you know what you are doing.. but it is very easy to do.

The prices for the coilover and spark plugs seem a lil high..but its not horrible.

Glad to know that you enjoy the new mods.

i installed my intake, HID lights and fog lights and interior lights and couple of other things so i do have some experience regarding my car. I just need couple of tools and i would be good to go hopefully.
